Mary Jane Deel, 46, of Huntington, West Virginia, was found dead in a wooded area near railroad tracks on September 7, 2022. A cashier for Goodwill Industries, she was described as the victim of a homicide.

Police say the body was discovered after an investigation led them to the woods. Within a week an arrest was made: Peter von Mosden III was charged with first-degree murder and concealing a body. The criminal complaint alleges von Mosden shot Deel in the head with a shotgun inside a residence, attempted to clean up evidence, then moved her body to the wooded area and set it on fire. At arraignment he appeared agitated and did not comment; the case is pending in court.

If anyone knew Mary Jane Deel or was in the Huntington area around early September 2022 and has information, please come forward.
