KANANASKIS (660 NEWS) — The body of a 49-year-old woman who was declared missing over the weekend has been found in Kananaskis country, according to Calgary police.

Stefanie Hodgson was last seen on Friday, Oct. 18, 2019, at Cross Iron Mills Mall and was reported missing two days later when she missed a number of scheduled plans.

On Tuesday night RCMP found her white Jeep Cherokee in Kananaskis and earlier on Wednesday a dead woman was found nearby.

An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday morning to determine the cause and manner of death.

At the time of her disappearance, police said it was extremely out of character for her to disappear and people close to her were concerned about her welfare.

The investigation is ongoing and Calgary police said no further information will be provided until the completion of the autopsy.
