Police find body in search for missing Indiana teacher
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Police in Puerto Rico have found a body in the search for a missing Indiana teacher.
Authorities confirmed the discovery in a Facebook post Saturday afternoon.
Police had been searching for Amanda Webster, 44, since Wednesday.
The body, believed to be that of a woman, was found Saturday morning in a river in the Rio Blanco neighborhood of the Sector Camino Viejo de Naguabo.
Crews found the body in a rocky area of the river.
The police statement said the person’s identity had not been confirmed and that it was too early to conclude if violence was involved in the death.
Webster, an art teacher in Franklin Township schools, was reported missing Wednesday after she failed to check out of the home where she had been vacationing.
The home’s owner reported Webster’s belongings were still at the home and that her rental car was still parked there.
Webster had been vacationing in Puerto Rico at the time.
