GREENVILLE, Del. (AP) - The family of a woman whose body was found in a Delaware river earlier this year is asking anyone with information about her case to contact police.

The News Journal reports friends and family of Susan Ledyard gathered this weekend in Greenville to discuss the investigation into her death. Afterward, they began posting fliers with Ledyard's picture and information about how to submit tips.

Ledyard was a teacher at a high school in Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania. Her body was discovered July 23. Relatives say her death is being investigated as a homicide and that they have no idea how she ended up in the river.

An autopsy and toxicology report are pending.

Delaware State Police have previously asked anyone who saw Ledyard between 3 and 7 a.m. on July 23 to come forward.
