EYOTA, Minn. – Deputies responding to a car wreck near Eyota found a dead body wrapped in a bed sheet in the back seat. Nearby, they said, was the driver — Margot G. Lewis, 32, of North Liberty, Iowa. She was sitting in a lawn chair. Lewis was triaged for injuries. Then deputies checked the vehicle for perhaps someone else with injuries. They discovered the body of a woman on a futon mattress under a tarp. The body was cold to the touch with dried blood soaked into the bed sheet, deputies said. There was a large wound on the right side of the neck near the carotid artery. This was about 7 a.m. at the Interstate 90 turn-off to Eyota. The vehicle, a gray Chevrolet Sonic eastbound toward Winona, had entered the median at high speed and crashed into a guardrail at a State Highway 42 overpass pillar.
