The green, 2014 Fiat 500L was missing from a home at the 3900 block of West 11th Street where police found a "badly decomposed" body Saturday evening, McClanahan said.

Police found the car Sunday afternoon at West 26th and South Gaines streets, and police said the people in the vehicle were being questioned.

The victim, who was described only as a woman in her 60s, has not been identified by the state crime laboratory. The car, however, was registered to Gwenda Moorman, 62, of Little Rock. Moorman's last address, according to voter registration records, was the same home where police found the decomposed body Saturday.

Police first responded to the home in response to a reported burglary in progress, according to a police report.

A door to the home was unlocked, and officers found the woman dead in the kitchen, the report said.

The cause and time of death wasn't released Sunday.

The death was being investigated as a homicide, making it the city's 12th in 2016.
