Police are investigating the death of a 23-year-old whose body was found by her father Sunday afternoon in her North Ogden home.

Investigators' suspicions were raised by blood found near the door of the home, said North Ogden Police Chief Polo Afuvai. It is not clear whether the blood was the woman's. Police are withholding her name pending further family notifications.

Afuvai had no details as to the condition of the woman's body, which was in a bedroom. He said the victim's father went to her house after she did not respond to phone calls. He entered using a key, Afuvai said. Police had not yet determined whether a break-in occurred prior to the father's arrival.

Police found 21-year-old Johnny Maurice Bell, whom they wanted for questioning, at a bus stop in Cove Fort late Sunday night. He was booked into the Weber County Jail, where he still is being held.
