Police in Mississippi discovered the body of Joyce Gomez, 38, in a wooded area near West Wittman Road in Harrison County on Sunday.

Gomez had been reported missing on Friday, and Pass Christian Police Chief Darren Freeman stated that investigators suspect foul play in her death.

“It’s an ongoing investigation,” Freeman said.

Gomez was last spotted walking alongside a man at approximately 10:52 p.m. on Friday in downtown Bay St. Louis. Earlier in the day, Gomez had been working at The Whiskey Bar in Pass Christian, as confirmed by friends.

WXCV reports that deputies with the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office found her body at around 11:25 p.m.

Gomez is survived by her children, along with other relatives.
