LEWIS, N.Y. (WKTV) - State Police investigators say they are now looking into the possibility that a Holland Patent woman found dead along a road two weeks ago may have actually fell out, or jumped out of the vehicle she was a passenger in.

The body of 54-year-old Debra Royce was found by a passer-by along a rural road in the Town of Lewis around 11:30 the night of August 20.

After a three day search, police arrested 41-year-old Royce Beck of Ava and charged him with leaving the scene of an accident.

Police say Beck was driving a pickup truck and Debra Royce was a passenger.

Investigators are now trying to determine whether Royce got out of the car while pulled over, then was struck by a vehicle, whether it be Beck's or someone else's, or whether Royce fell out or jumped out of the moving car and was killed that way.

So far, Beck only faces a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident.
