Police have identified a Northern Virginia woman who was found stabbed to death near Difficult Run Trail in the Great Falls area early Monday. A jogger called police after finding 42-year-old Carmen Lizet Puch, of Reston, lying next to her car in a small gravel parking lot near the trail about 6:45 a.m., Fairfax County police said. Puch had trauma to her upper body, police said. Detectives are still working to identify a suspect. Video from Chopper4 showed orange crime scene markers on and near Puch’s burgundy Honda Civic. “There’s no immediate indication that this was a random act. We’re just asking the community if they saw something around 7 o’clock to please reach out to us,” Capt. Jason Chandler said Monday. Chandler said officers were canvassing the area and working to get surveillance video. Police are asking for anyone with information to call 1-866-411-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online .
