MANITOWOC - The Manitowoc County sheriff's department is investigating the death of a 50-year-old woman found Saturday by hunters.

Deputies are treating the death as a homicide. The department says investigators conducted a search warrant Saturday and found a possible suspect.
Deputies think she had been there for less than 24 hours.
According to the victim's family she is from the Green Bay suburb of Ashwaubenon.
The woman was going through a divorce. Her soon to be ex-husband is the suspect. He's was the hospital Saturday night, but officials would not say why.
The woman leaves behind a little girl who is extremely upset.
An autopsy is planned for Monday.
