Harford County police said Sunday that a woman found dead over the weekend at her home in rural Street had been killed, and court records indicate that in late March she had sought domestic violence protection. Police have not given a motive in the crime or made any arrests.
Paramedics were called to the 1500 block of Clearview Drive, near the Pennsylvania line, about 9:20 p.m. Saturday for a possible cardiac arrest, but they contacted police as soon as they saw the woman, 52-year-old Deborah Elaine Burgess.
"What they found was not indicative of cardiac arrest," said Monica Worrell, a spokeswoman for the Harford County Sheriff's Office. "There was trauma to the body."
Records show that on March 28, Burgess filed for a protective order from Manuel Dixon Holmes Jr. The order was dropped when she failed to appear at a follow-up hearing on April 6. The Harford sheriff's office has not released any updates in the investigation or any indications that her death was related to a domestic dispute, but we'll post any updates here.
