(CNN) -- Angry. Sad. Grieving.

That's how family members of 62-year-old Carolyn Watkins described their feelings after her body was discovered in a car, days after it was towed from a crash.

"We were wondering where she was, and she was in the car the whole time," said Algernon Parker, 42, Watkins' son.

Her car was taken to the yard Friday after a trooper discovered it in a ditch in Johnston County, North Carolina. In his report, the trooper noted that no one was in the vehicle.

They filed a report, prompting detectives to go back to the car to search for clues. They found Watkins instead, slumped in the front seat.

Obviously the trooper is an idiot, but I’m surprised the illegals at the junkyard didn’t notice her when they hauled it in.

In Asheville there was a yellow stripe painted right over the dead possum. At least this guy went around it. LOL

I’d be willing to bet ten to one that the trooper didn’t want to get his shoes dirty or was too lazy to actually go into the ditch and check out the car and that he merely observed it from the road.

The sad part is the possibility that the woman in the car might have been still alive at the time.

And for that the lazy cop gets a paid vacation.

“slumped in the front seat”

is not hard to spot, by the trooper or the tow truck operator, no?

This just might show negatively on the troopers performance evaluation...Maybe!

Probably depends on whether or not he is Union.

Notice the slight twitch to the left on the possum pic? Looks as if he had an initial urge to go around it but that would have been too much extra work.
