On Monday morning police spokeswoman Margie Long confirmed that the woman was visiting from out of town, and that her family was coming here to identify her.
Earlier in the evening, police issued a call to the media for assistance identifying the woman. Less than two hours later, Long said she has been identified.
The woman was struck by lightning and killed around 5:20 p.m. while jogging near the waterline Sunday off the 3200 block of Sandfiddler Road, Long said. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police described her as a white female between 20 and 30 years old, about 5-feet, 7-inches tall.
