Authorities in Alaska continue to investigate the murder of a 13-year-old Native girl but aren't releasing much information.

The body of Mackenzie H. Howard was found inside a church in Kake, a largely Tlingit community, last week. The preliminary results of the autopsy won't be released and authorities won't say if they have any suspects in mind.

Howard's family is holding a memorial service for her tonight in Juneau.
