A fisherman found the decomposing body of mother Jill Conklin just days ago. Her mother believes she may have been murdered.
Gina Fowler's face shows the pain of loss. She placed white roses underneath the I-95 overpass off River Road in Linthicum, where investigators removed her daughter Jill Conklin's decaying body.
"Somebody knows. Somebody took her to that spot and I believe they left her there," Fowler said.
Fowler last heard from her daughter just before Christmas. Conklin was a recovering drug addict, last seen back in the family's old neighborhood in southwest Baltimore.
"I had talked to her that night on the phone--this was December 11th--she said she would be home by 11 o'clock," she said.
A mother herself, Jill Conklin had already bought Christmas presents for her son, but never returned to give them to him.
"She didn't have plans on disappearing," Fowler said. "My daughter didn't have the perfect lifestyle, but my daughter was in constant contact with her family."
Baltimore City Police found her identification on Saratoga Street, but authorities could find no trace of Conklin until last Wednesday. She was found miles away in Anne Arundel County. Conklin did not drive.
"My daughter did not go there by herself and lay down to die."
Her mother started a Myspace page to get her story out. Now it's a memorial to a life that ended too soon.
"When she was born, they handed her to me, and she looked into my eyes, and it was like nothing could ever touch the feeling between me and her," Fowler said. "She was mine, and she was beautiful."
Now Conklin's son is without a mother and her own mother grieves without answers, without knowing how her daughter spent her final moments alive.
The medical examiner's office says ther were no outward signs of trauma on the body. If you know anything, call police.
When the body was first discovered, police believed it may be Deysi Benitez, the missing mother whose family was found dead in Frederick on Monday. An examination of the body confirmed it was Conklin.
