Over the weekend, members of a search party located a body in close proximity to the Rio Blanco neighborhood, sparking concerns that it may be connected to the disappearance of the 44-year-old visitor.

Identity and cause of death yet to be determined

In a statement released by the local police, they confirmed the discovery of a body but expressed the difficulty of establishing its gender or discerning any signs of violence at this early stage.

Despite the uncertainty, Amanda Webster’s mother took to Facebook, asserting that the recovered body indeed belonged to her daughter.
