Body Found In North Dakota Likely Montana Teacher Sherry Arnold

Our entire region was rocked by the disappearance of Sherry Arnold when she went for a run. My hope is that IT IS her so that her family and friends can be at peace and the people who did this can stand trial for more serious charges. Story here:

MATTHEW BROWN - The Associated Press:

Authorities said Wednesday they found a body outside Williston, N.D., believed to be that of a missing teacher allegedly snatched from a Sidney, Mont., during a morning run more than two months ago.

The body — believed to be 43-year-old Sherry Arnold — was being sent to the Montana state medical lab in Missoula for further identification, said Sidney Assistant Police Chief Robert Burnison.

Authorities told The Associated Press the body had been buried. That matches up with the alleged confession of one of two men charged in the case.

The recovery effort started Tuesday in western North Dakota about 50 miles from Sidney, and the body was removed early Wednesday morning, authorities said.
