The body of Tracey Brazzell Payne was found Thursday afternoon, and a coroner told the newspaper the woman had been dead at least six hours.

Police have not yet determined who was responsible for the dogs, but neighbors told police numerous people in the neighborhood had been attacked by the dogs.
