Some neighbors also said they have not seen Dickinson since September.
She’s described as a 5-foot-7 and weighs 200 pounds. She has brown hair and green eyes, police said.
A Springfield Police Department Evidence Collection Unit vehicle as well as the Clark County Health District were at the scene collecting evidence. Crews wore hazardous material suits before entering the home where the body was found because the conditions were deplorable, police said. They also hung a white tarp around the porch as they processed the scene.
The house has not had running water in several months, officials said.
