The Laurel County coroner says Christy Hodges' body was found late Thursday morning behind a mobile home on Haley Ridge Road in London.

The Laurel County Sheriff's Department says they were called there around 11:24am Thursday by Hodges' boyfriend and the father of her child, Michael McQueen. Deputies say McQueen told dispatchers he had killed his girlfriend. They say when police got to the scene, McQueen was covered in blood.

The coroner says Hodge was shot once. He says he doesn't know how long she has been dead. An autopsy is being done Friday on the 32-year-old.
