The woman's body, found in River Front Park, had not been identified last night, police said. The woman had suffered trauma to the upper body, authorities said. The body was taken to the medical examiner's office in Baltimore to determine the cause of death. Because the nearby pool was crowded Monday, investigators believe the attack occurred Monday night or early yesterday.

Cut garage height, officials order man
Anne Arundel officials have ordered a Glen Burnie man to reduce the height of a $20,000 garage he built on his property, even though the county had approved a permit for the job. The county Board of Appeals, in a 6-0 decision announced yesterday, found that inspectors acted properly in revoking the permit granted to John Getz, whose garage was approved in 2006 and last year after he revised its design. Taller than his house, the garage violates code. Officials said neighbors had called Getz's garage unsightly. A stop-work order was issued four days after the second permit approval. Getz will have to reduce the height by about 4 feet, said Tracie Reynolds, a county land-use spokeswoman. She said Getz "neglected to point out" to a clerk who approved the permit that he was changing the height of his garage. Getz denied that.
