KENOSHA- A person of interest is in custody following the murder of a 26-year-old woman found in a Kenosha County cemetery.

The Kenosha County Sheriff's Department didn't elaborate on that person's connection to the homicide, but said they are continuing to gather information about other persons of interest.

26-year-old Lisa Mezera's body was found inside the B'nai Zedek Cemetery around 10:00 a.m. Sunday.

An autopsy determined that she died of strangulation and blunt force trauma to the head.  Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth believes Lisa knew the killer.

Investigators said they are trying to piece together the time line of when Lisa left her father's home in Kenosha on Saturday until when her body was found Sunday.

Her father talked to TODAY'S TMJ4 about their family's tragic loss.

Anyone who may have seen Lisa between Saturday and Sunday is asked to call the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department at (262) 605-5102.
