Spell who was a retired federal employee had been working at the baseball stadium, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, as a greeter. The family said that on their arrival at Spell's home, there was a woman in the bed of the homeowner, according to CBS Baltimore. They found the missing woman's health care items and cane walker left behind and discovered her glasses and a few other personal items outside the home. Spell's sister Bettea Brown said, "So, we don’t know why her keys were in the basement and why her glasses were out in the grass." Paula Dickson, a friend of Spell said, "It's been hard when your friend is no longer here to say, 'Good morning, hello, I love you,' because that's something she always did."

Are there any suspects in the case?

According to investigators, the skeletal remains of the 75-year-old woman were found inside a container on March 7 at the 3400 block of Garrison Boulevard. After the identity of the body was found, the medical examiner's office ruled her death a homicide. 

Jame A Merritt, the Baltimore police spokesperson told Law and Crime that "Homicide detectives are actively investigating this murder," and added, "There are no additional details to share at this time." The family also revealed that Spell suffered from polio and lupus.

When the MLB stadium greeter went missing, Brown-Wilson found it "terrible." She said, "I don’t sleep, I don’t eat. The whole family’s just, we just don’t know because she wasn’t like that. She has polio and she has lupus." Brown-Wilson previously told CBS that "It's heartbreaking and unbelievable. You see it on television, you hear it but when it's you, it's a whole different story." No additional details have been released by police and there are no suspects in the murder case yet, according to Law and Crime.
