Body found in Michigan City woods ID'd as missing woman Stan Maddux Times Correspondent MICHIGAN CITY — The body of a 63-year-old woman reported missing in January was found Saturday in a wooded area. The body of Constance Everly was discovered by a couple walking their dog near one of the trails at Barker Woods Nature Preserve. LaPorte County Chief Deputy Coroner Mark Huffman said Monday dental records were used to confirm her identification. Everly often walked from her apartment to a friend's house through an open wooded area. But, Huffman said, officials believe Everly, in search of a shortcut, perhaps, went through an open gate at the nature preserve close by. Huffman said the preserve was heavily wooded but has trails. She was wearing a winter coat and boots. It's possible Everly didn't know the rest of the nature preserve was fenced in and upon reaching the back of the property several hundred yards away was walking back when overcome by the elements, Huffman said. "There's no telling what happened there, but it wasn't foul play," Huffman said. "We're not sure if she got mixed up as to where she was because she was quite a ways back." It's also a possible she suffered a medical event but the autopsy did not turn up anything medically wrong with her, he said. According to her obituary, Everly was a member of the VFW Post 2536 Ladies Auxilary. Several years ago, she worked at the circulation desk at the Michigan City Public Library and did some cleaning at Queen of All Saints Catholic School in Michigan City. |
