The Amerson's described their daughter as a free spirit, and said they saw their daughter about once a month.

They described her as a nice young woman, and didn't believe she had any enemies. They said they can't think of a reason she would be where she was found, behind the Jones Valley Target at 1:45 on Friday morning.
 
Police declined to comment on whether Amerson died at the scene, or was placed there after she died.
 
WAFF 48 reached out to the Huntsville Police and the Madison County Coroner, and they are not releasing any new information or a cause of death, because of the ongoing investigation.

The family of  Tonya Lynn Amerson has set up an account at Redstone Federal Credit Union for burial expenses.
