A cause of death has not been determined, but Baltimore County police have said the death appears accidental.
Police said that her Toyota Camry had apparently gone off the road, over a hill and hit several trees in the 1300 block of Phoenix Road. Van-Schnell was found by police, who spotted the car from a helicopter, inside the burning vehicle after relatives called to report her missing from her house in the same block.
Police say the investigation remains open.
