ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. (AP) — Vermont police found a body in a remote area Monday that they believe is that of a beloved teacher at a New England boarding school whose SUV was found running with her unharmed 2-year-old inside.
Authorities will continue to seek a suspect in the disappearance of 33-year-old Melissa Jenkins, Vermont State Police Maj. Ed Ledo said at a news conference Monday night. The public should be vigilant, he said.
He would not give details on the condition of the body found in Barnet, a town not far St. Johnsbury, where the single mother's vehicle was discovered Sunday evening near signs of a struggle. An autopsy was planned for Tuesday.
