Austin Police have identified the woman whose body was found on South Congress Sunday morning.Officers say 65-year-old Rosemary Borges was found lying in the grounds of an apartment complex at 2713 South Congress Avenue. She was found in a “partially clothed state,” according to police.
During a press conference Tuesday, a representative with APD said Borges was a “low-risk victim,” meaning she did not engage in any dangerous activity. Borges was legally blind and carried a walking stick.
Borges’ residence is located about one mile away from where she was found, at 1718 Woodward Street, but it is unclear how she ended up on South Congress location. Neighbors in the area say they saw Borges alive Saturday, one day before she was found dead.
Officers say there were obvious signs of trauma to Borges’ body.
