The body of a teenage girl was discovered by police late Wednesday night near the base of Sunset Hill along the outskirts of town. The body was later identified as local student Jessie Fryman, 17, whom according to police, had a history of running away from home.

The police are still combing the area for evidence, but Fryman’s death is being treated as an accident and not a homicide, said Ashley Falls Sheriff Douglas Coleman.

“It would be impossible to rule anything out at this point, but based on the evidence at the scene, it does not appear to be a homicide,” said Coleman. “Sunset Hill is a popular hangout for teenagers, but it can also be quite dangerous under the right set of circumstances. It’s very possible that she tripped and fell all the way down, which would be consistent with the injuries we have observed.”

Coleman also noted that an autopsy would not be necessary, however a thorough external examination of the body would still be conducted this weekend.

Fryman’s parents could not be reached for comment.

  1. I can only hope that the author of this story might be able to find some time real soon to write more. I know it's hard to find time in the day to do things like write, but I just hope the author can find a way to step away from the grind to type for a few. Cheers.
