The death of a woman whose body was found on the side of a road in Woodbury on June 19 has been ruled a homicide, authorities said. 

Tina Daigle, 38, was assaulted and fatally strangled, according to a Monday afternoon brief from the Vermont State Police. The autopsy was conducted by the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Burlington.

Daigle was born, raised and lived in Hardwick and had five children, according to an obituary. She was a nurse’s assistant in several facilities across the Northeast Kingdom and worked at the ReSource thrift store in Morrisville. She was also an amateur collector, and particularly enjoyed items related to “highland cows, native American culture and apples.”

Police are still investigating, and no suspect has been named.
