Family of woman who went missing in Northern Colorado says her body was found

The body of a young Colorado woman who went missing over the weekend was located on Thursday. That's according to the family of Kaylee Russell, a 20-year-old from Evans. The family says they are "devastated" by the news.

The Colorado State Patrol said they found Russell's vehicle in the afternoon in Northern Colorado, at the same time a search party had been looking for her. CSP said divers located a body inside the vehicle. They didn't officially identify that person.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation issued an endangered missing alert for Russell, who was last seen dropping off her dad near a park-and-ride in Loveland near I-25 after he helped her change a flat tire. She was supposed to visit a cousin, but didn't show up for that visit.

The vehicle was found in the Timnath area near Larimer County Road 44. The car could be seen turned over in a canal and partially submerged.

The crash is under investigation by CPW's Vehicular Crimes Unit.

On Wednesday night, Russell's mother urged the public to help with the search for her daughter. People responded, and began searching the roads, canals and ditches in the area where she was last seen. Several of those people said they hoped things would have turned out differently with their search.
