Silver alert ends with missing woman's body found in Conn. state park

NIANTIC, Conn. --Police said they found the body of missing 48-year-old Christine McGugan at Connecticut's Rocky Neck State Park Wednesday, reports CBS affiliate WFSB.

The development comes a day after McGugan's SUV was found abandoned about a mile away from the park's perimeter, according to the station.

State police issued a Silver Alert for McGugan -- a mother of three from New London, Connecticut -- on Nov. 13, after she was last seen leaving Lawrence & Memorial Hospital in New London around noon the day before.

They discovered McGugan's body with the help of a K9 team at around 7:45 a.m., police said. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will be determining the cause of death, according to the station.
