Ramsaran, missing, the mother of three allegedly last seen leaving the couple’s 473 Sheff Road home to shop at Destiny USA in Syracuse on Dec. 11. The subsequent discovery of Ramsaran’s body, located Feb. 26 down an embankment adjacent to Center Road in the Town of Pharsalia, has only led to more speculation in what many are calling the area’s most recent homicide. In fact, a number of people have repeatedly asked the same question in recent weeks, be it on the street or online via social media: Is there a murderer on the lose in Chenango County?

Nearly ten weeks have passed since Ramsaran’s body was found, even as local law enforcement, the district attorney’s office, and the community as a whole wait for a cause of death to be established.

“Due to tests that the medical examiner has ordered, we’re still awaiting the results of the autopsy,” stated Lt. Rich Cobb of the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office, “this is still an ongoing investigation.
