Weber County Sheriff report
The Weber County Sheriff’s Office has released limited details after the body of a woman was found and was reported early Tuesday evening. The WCSO has not released the victim’s name.
Investigators and deputies responded to the scene, near the 400 block of Ogden Canyon, and found the body near the river, Lt. Cortney Ryan, WCSO, said at a Wednesday afternoon news conference.
The death was classified as suspicious, Ryan said.
“At this point we are not identifying the victim, and the investigation is ongoing. We don’t believe there’s any threat to the public at this point, and we are following up on several leads and investigating the case as a suspicious death at this point,” he said.
Ryan did release an approximate timeline, saying officers were interested in talking with anyone who had been in the immediate area, described as just west of the Alaska Inn, between early Sunday and 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Anyone who may have seen something suspicious is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office Investigations Bureau at 801-778-6631, Ryan said, “and just reference the suspicious death case.”
The search of the area was thorough, Ryan said.
“We’re just making sure that we meticulously cover the whole area and search the area for any clues or any evidence we may be able to find,” he said. “That includes some divers from our search and rescue team that combed the river, we’ve combed the riverbanks and the surrounding area, so we just want to make sure we cover every little piece and make sure we don’t miss anything.”
Ryan said more information will be released as the investigation continues.
