A woman was found dead in a wooded area in Stuartburn on March 16.
At about 3:45 p.m., Emerson RCMP received a report of a missing 44-year-old woman from the RM of Stuartburn. She was last seen leaving her residence in a vehicle at about 4:50 a.m.
Officers came to the home of the missing woman and were told by her family that her vehicle had been located in the ditch, about one kilometre away, and that they had searched the immediate area earlier in the day without success.
Emerson RCMP, along with units including Search and Rescue (SAR), Police Dog Services (PDS) and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), attended to the scene and located the body of the missing woman.
The cause of death has yet to be determined as police await the results of an autopsy, but there are indications the woman may have succumbed to the elements when she wandered away from her vehicle after hitting the ditch.
Emerson RCMP, along with the office of the chief medical examiner, continue to investigate.
