Law enforcement officials in Texas announced this evening that they found a body believed to be that of a woman who went missing nearly a month ago after returning from a two-year trip around the world.

Leanne Hecht Bearden, 33, was last seen January 17 when she told her in-laws in Garden Ridge near San Antonio that she was going for a walk. She has not been heard from since.

The woman and her husband, Joshua Bearden, were staying with his parents after returning from their travels earlier this month.

City Police Chief Donna O'Conner said just after 1pm Thursday, they received a call from a Garden Ridge homeowner saying that he had found a body in a wooded area near his residence, CNN reported.

Officers who responded to the scene came upon what is now believed to be Leanne Bearden's body.

Police are not disclosing the cause of death pending the results of the autopsy that will be performed on the remains.....

Thank you. That helps. The lot where she was found was under 3 acres. I think, as a homeowner, I would have checked my own property, being that close to where she disappeared.

We had an elderly lady with Alzheimer’s go missing just down the street from me this past fall. They organized a massive search with dogs, helicopters with infrared, ATV’s, etc. She was found alive 3 days later 300 feet from her house in the woods caught in a barbed wire fence where she had been the whole time.

According to at least 8 Freepers, who read the article, she went on the trip with her husband. /!

I am curious as to whether it is a LARGE tract of land? It sounds like it is sort of a suburb area. Seems like any homeowners in the near proximity would have also searched their own properties?

The Garden Ridge area is quite rural.

I read about her missing but forget what countries she and her husband visited.......but pretty ironic that she travels the world and ends up dead after going for a little walk.

Perhaps suspicious is the word I am looking for rather than ironic.

I would surmise that after a two year stroll around the earth, she tried to enroll in Obamacare and the frustration just sent her over he edge.

Sarcasm/ maybe not

I realize that you may be combing through these posts in order to respond but if I were you I would just brush them aside.
