COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A dead person who was found earlier this week in a vacant building in New Florence was a missing woman from El Paso, Texas, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Friday night social media post.

The name of the woman was not shared by law enforcement, though the sheriff’s office stated that the 37-year-old woman was reported missing on Feb. 5. A cause of death has not yet been determined and the investigation is ongoing, the post says.

The woman’s body was found on Tuesday at a vacant building in the 400 block of Booneslick Road in New Florence. She was found  “in the bay area of the vacant building,” law enforcement shared on Wednesday.
