June 2, 2015 at 2:31AM

Authorities on Monday released the identity of a woman who was fatally stabbed in her Duluth home by an attacker who remains on the loose.

The body of Lisa J. Isham, 52, was found shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday in the home in the 100 block of Fir Avenue. That's near Central Park and just north of Piedmont Avenue.

Police said in a statement that they "are investigating leads in the case" in pursuit of the killer. Soon after Isham's body was found, police said the killing was "not … a random act."
