State police in New Mexico are investigating after the bodies of a Canadian woman and her husband were found inside a pickup truck.

Ursula Tammy Kokotkiewicz, 32, and Jacob Kokotkiewicz, 31, were discovered Thursday morning in a blue Dodge truck on the shoulder of an interstate highway.

New Mexico police said in a news release that officers saw the truck when they were responding to an unrelated call.
