Misty Clark was pronounced dead at the scene when multiple agencies arrived and discovered her body, including police and the coroner’s office.
Her body was sent to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences for an autopsy due to “suspicious circumstances” said police.
Initially, Dora Police wrote in a Facebook post, “Don’t buy into rumors and spread misinformation. We are early in the investigation, but we believe there is no direct threat to the public, and this case has nothing to do with the walking track.”
Days later on June 7, a search warrant was executed by police at a residence of a person of interest in Dora.
Police said they found buprenorphine, drug paraphernalia, synthetic urine, surveillance cameras and personal items belonging to Clark.
A felony warrant was then obtained for the arrest of Allean Lee Holiday, 37, for possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of synthetic urine.
A Walker County Sheriff’s deputy arrested Holiday during a traffic stop, said Dora Police.
No charges have been made in connection to Clark’s death as the autopsy is still pending to determine how she died.
