Ogden Police have identified the badly decomposed body found in a storage unit on Thursday, but they’re still unsure about the circumstances of her the death.

Alice Ann Valdez, 41, was identified by her fingerprints, according to a news release from Ogden police. Her body was discovered by workers hired to clean out a storage unit at Stock-n-Lock Self Storage at 2868 Grant Ave.
