An autopsy is scheduled for Saturday to identify a body found in Daphne Friday afternoon.
Authorities believe its the body of Brianna Parish.
Baldwin County District Attorney Judy Newcomb said, "Unfortunately, we believe we have found Brianna Parish."
But there are still more questions than answers.
When asked whether there was any obvious cause of death, Daphne Police Chief David Carpenter said, "No, not at this time."
He did say police are treating the case as a homicide.
Carpenter said the department had no suspects but did have people of interest.
He said, "We served a search warrant today (Friday) on a vehicle and hopefully something will come up, I do not know. We treat it as a person of interest."
Carpenter also said he didn't know if it was a stranger who killed Parish, if she was killed where her body was found and that he didn't know as of Friday night whether Parish was raped.
James White said he knew Parish from school.
White said, "She was a great person, great personality, good sense of humor. I just can't believe this happened to her."
People at the Bay House Pub in Daphne Friday night reflected on Parish's death.
Parish was last seen outside the business Wednesday morning.
Enna Gilihan of Daphne said, "I just heard about it earlier today and it was just devastating that it happened in the area."
Jason Horn of Daphne said, "I've got a nine year old child, a nine year old little girl and that hits home. When you have a child yourself, the devastation that that mother is going through and that family is, is something I couldn't understand."
