LEXINGTON, Miss. (AP) — The body of a missing Mississippi woman was found Monday night near a truck stop, authorities said.
Holmes County Sheriff Willie March said Jacqueline Epps, of Lexington, had been missing since Jan. 2, WLBT-TV reported.
A group of people still searching for the 56-year-old found her body around 6:15 p.m. on Highway 12 near a truck stop. March said foul play is not suspected and it appears Epps may have slipped into a nearby creek.
An autopsy will be performed to determine a cause of death.
