MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan — Base officials here reported that Lisa D. Woodard was the Air Force spouse found dead Monday near the bike racks at Tower 214.

The woman’s name was released Tuesday morning.

Base officials said they could provide no additional details as of Tuesday afternoon, including the name of the airman to whom she was married and whether any criminal charges had been filed in the case. But, they added, more information should be forthcoming.

“The investigation is continuing, it’s developing, but there’s nothing to be alarmed about,” said Capt. James Lage, Misawa spokesman.
