PORT NECHES, Texas — Port Neches Police released the name of a woman found dead inside an apartment last weekend. 

Heather Delmar, 44, was found in an apartment at The Palms Apartments at 877 Ridgewood Drive Sunday morning after Port Neches Police were called for a welfare check for a woman. 

On Monday, Port Neches Police Chief Paul Lemoine said the woman was stabbed to death and had been in the apartment for several days.

When officers went inside, they found Delmar inside.
