Carolyn Watkins' body found in car days after it was towed A woman's car was towed away from the scene of an accident but no one noticed her dead body in the front seat. FAMILY members have told of their anger after a grandmother of four's wrecked car was towed away and left with her dead body inside. CNN reports that the body of Carolyn Watkins, 62, was found on Monday after her son and daughter-in-law, who she lived with, reported her missing. Police located the car to search for clues and instead found Watkins' body slumped in the front seat. A state trooper had found the car in a ditch on Friday in Johnston County, North Carolina, but reported that no one was inside. An investigation has been ordered. "First and foremost, we offer our most sincere condolences to Carolyn Watkins' family," said Frank Perry, commissioner of the Department of Public Safety, Law Enforcement Division. At this early stage, our main concern is to conduct a thorough and professional investigation so we can determine exactly what happened. Her family was initially worried that Watkins may have still been alive when she her car was towed but medical officials have said she most likely died on impact. "We were wondering where she was, and she was in the car the whole time," said Algernon Parker, 42, Watkins' son. Even if it was a dog, that would be bad, but you know, I mean, a human? Come on now. You don't even want to leave your dog in the car for 2 to 3 hours. "I was angry, and now I'm just sad about it," Mr Parker said. Tell your loved ones you love them, that's all. I didn't have a chance to do it.
