The woman is described as being in her late teens to mid-twenties, around 150cm tall, with a slim build, long straight black or dark hair and was wearing a white striped t-shirt, denim jacket and dark knee-high boots.
Police spoke to witnesses at the scene, but are also still searching for the victim, who is described as being approximately 70 years of age.
