MOUNT VERNON, N.Y. — The lifeless bloodied body of Alexandria Castano, 24, was dumped outside the front door of her mother’s Westchester County home, according to reports.

Police were notified of the circumstances about 7 a.m. Tuesday and responded to the residence on Summit Avenue in Mount Vernon. Upon arrival officers discovered Castano’s body, News 12 The Bronx reported.

Lucia Castano, the woman’s mother, said her daughter left abruptly the previous evening while they were preparing dinner. Alexandria sent her mother a text message about 30 minutes later saying she was returning home, but never arrived, nor did she answer her phone, News 12 reported.
