Banks County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division and the Banks County Coroner’s Office are working together to determine the cause and events surrounding her death.

On Wednesday, deputies conducted a “grid search” in a heavily wooded area near where she was last seen and that’s where they found the body of the 42-year-old woman.

An autopsy is scheduled for later in the week.
