COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – Detectives spent nine hours Wednesday searching the Colorado Springs landfill for crucial evidence in the murder of 33-year-old Julie Tureson.

Her body was found last Friday inside her mini-van, parked in a storage unit rented by her ex-boyfriend, 38-year-old James Woo. He was arrested in Seattle, trying to board a flight to Hong Kong.

He’s charged with first degree murder and is awaiting extradition back to Colorado Springs. Authorities would not say what they’re looking for or whether a weapon has been recovered.

Dozens of searchers will return to the landfill today.
