Few details are known at this time, but the body of Grafton teenager Alexandra Valoras was discovered on Monday on the Massachusetts Turnpike. She was an engineering student scheduled to graduate from Blackstone Valley Regional Technical High School in 2019.
The Massachusetts State Police and Worcester County District Attorney’s Office are investigating. District Attorney Joe Early, Jr. told The Grafton News the body was found under the North Street overpass in Grafton. The medical examiner’s office will determine the manner of death in the coming days.
