As the search for 18-year-old Laura Schwendemann continues, a farmer found a woman’s corpse yesterday in a field he was harvesting.
A sheriff’s spokesman has confirmed that the human remains were those of a female in her “late teens or early twenties” but that the effort to find Ms. Schwendemann was nevertheless “ongoing.”
The Jane Doe victim was transported to a medical examiner for autopsy last night, although her cause of death and identity are still unknown today.
Laura Schwendemann is an undergrad at the University of Minnesota at Morris -- investigators believe she left her campus two weeks ago “involuntarily.”
The attractive college freshman was last seen in the area on October 14th, in the company of a male “known” to her and who is now considered a ‘person of interest’ in her missing persons case.
The rural site where a young woman’s decomposing body was found Monday afternoon is about 10 miles from the gas station where the two were spotted together just before Schwendemann vanished.
This case is developing -- please check back with Crime Magazine for additional updates.
