The body of 40-year-old Carmin Ross-Murray was found in her home north of Lawrence on Friday afternoon.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office is investigating the death as a homicide.
Officers discovered the body at about 1 p.m. Friday in the woman's home at 1860 E. 1150 Road. They had received a request to check on the welfare of the resident of the home.
Lt. Ken Massey of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office could not comment on how Ross-Murray died.
The homicide is being investigated by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, the coroner's office and the Lawrence Police Department's crime scene investigation team, according to the press release.
Several leads have been followed including some outside of Douglas County.
Ross-Murray's young daughter was not in the residence at the time and has been staying with relatives, according to the news release.
Ross-Murray was a lawyer and self-employed mediator.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office is asking anyone with any information about the homicide or suspicious activity in the area to report it to Crime Stoppers, 841-TIPS.

Courthouse security doubled after threats to kill witness
The trial for three Costa Ricans accused of killing KU student Shannon Martin was seeping in drama again Friday.
The prosecutor and judicial department offices both received telephone death threats in Golfito, Costa Rica, where the trial was in its third day. An anonymous woman called at about 11 a.m., threatening to kill a
witness slated to testify that morning.
Behind closed doors, the three-judge tribunal deciding the case ordered security to be doubled and closed witness Rosibel Munoz's testimony to the public, said Jesse Ybarra, an investigator and translator who was present
Martin
They also sent police officers to intercept Munoz, a neighbor of one of the accused, who was on her way to the courthouse when the threats came. The officers didn't reach her until she was getting off a bus near the courthouse. By then she had been followed by two men who intended to harm her, she testified.
It wasn't the first time threats on Munoz's life had been made, Ybarra said. She told judges people had threatened her two children's lives as well to prevent her from testifying against Kattia Cruz, one of the suspects of Martin's homicide on May 13, 2001.
Two state investigators also testified Friday, and judges accepted a video tape of Martin's autopsy as evidence.
The trial will resume Wednesday, and prosecutors expect it to end by Nov. 24.
