RICH COUNTY, Utah — Officials say the body of a Layton woman who was reported missing has been found.
Rich County Sheriff’s Office deputies said they received a call on April 8 telling them four teenagers on dirt bikes had found what they believed to be a human body.
Weber County crime scene preservation specialists helped process the crime scene, which was located on a road about 5 miles west of Randolph, Utah.
No identification was found on the body, which was sent to the Utah Office of the Medical Examiner for an autopsy.
The autopsy was performed on April 11 and confirmed the remains were those of Sophia Lower. She was listed as a missing person outside of Layton and a Layton Police Department detective was contacted.
Rich County deputies said the detective was able to contact Lower’s family to let them know her body had been found.
The case is still under investigation, and Rich County officials said they are awaiting a full report from the state coroner.
