UPDATE: Search crews find deceased woman in area of Scott County missing person search
A body was found Monday in the search area for a missing Scott County woman, according to the Scott County Sheriff’s Office.
A helicopter discovered a woman’s body along a tree line at about 8:30 a.m., the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post. No other information was immediately released.
Scott County Coroner John Goble said the body wouldn’t be identified until Tuesday morning.
Officials said they resumed the search for Mary Haralson Monday morning after she disappeared in the area of 265 South Rays Fork Friday. She left a voicemail that day saying she had turned her ankle and was near water and a deer stand. Police previously said she was lost.
The sheriff’s office said Haralson was spotted on a trail camera Friday night and encouraged others with cameras to check their footage. The sheriff’s office temporarily suspended the search Sunday night before returning Monday with the Scott County Helicopter Aviation Unit.
Each night from Friday through Sunday was cold.
