State police at Hamburg are investigating the "suspicious" death of a 24-year-old Pine Grove woman whose body was found at an excavation storage site in Bethel Township, Berks County, Saturday morning.

Police said Alishia M. Eller, 24, of 238 Route 443, likely died between 7 p.m. Friday and 6:20 a.m. Saturday. The body was found between Musselman and Beagle roads north of Interstate 78.

"We did a lot of work on it today. We talked to people and interviewed people. And we want to get her name out there. If anyone knows this young lady, has had recent contact with her or if they know her or are a close friend, give us a call to help us figure out what happened," Trooper David C. Beohm, public information officer with Troop L in Reading, said Sunday.

Berks County Coroner Dennis J. Hess conducted an autopsy Sunday morning at Reading Hospital and Medical Center.

The cause of death remains "undetermined pending further testing," the investigating officer, Trooper Roy Eiler of the Hamburg station, said in an information report Sunday afternoon.

"We're waiting for the toxicology to come back. It's suspicious," Beohm said.

And state police are asking the public for help.

State police are urging anyone with information regarding Eller's whereabouts Friday night and Saturday morning to contact PSP Hamburg at 484-660-1011, Eiler said in the release.
