WEST MELBOURNE (CBSMiami/AP) — A woman's body found in van outside a Wal-Mart in Melbourne may have been there for several weeks.

The body was discovered in the Dodge Grand Caravan by a store employee last Wednesday. The van was parked near the store's garden center and had a weathered, temporary tag, possibly from Wisconsin, according to police.

West Melbourne police spokesman Capt. Richard Cordeau said surveillance video shows a vehicle pull in over a month ago in the same general area.

The woman's identity has not been released. The medical examiner's office will determine if foul play or some other issue played a role in her death.
