A Hinckley, Minnesota, woman, who went missing earlier this month, was found dead in Superior, Wisconsin, on Friday.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said Juanita Rosa, 85, and her vehicle were found in a rural area of Superior, which is around 153 miles northeast of Minneapolis.

"Although this isn't the outcome anyone had hoped for, the Pine County Sheriff's Office would like to thank everyone who helped look for Juanita, spread the word of her disappearance and provided information," the BCA said on Friday.

A community came together on Aug. 10 to look for her in Pine County, Minnesota.

Rosa was last seen on Aug. 4, which was her birthday. Kelly Carey, Rosa's granddaughter, told WCCO she is lucid. 

The Pine County Sheriff's Office says there were no signs of foul play when she went missing, and they believed Rosa drove off on her own and may be lost. 

After celebrating with a birthday breakfast, Carey said Rosa went to lie down around noon. It wasn't until 5 p.m. that someone realized Rosa and her car were gone.

"Her cell phone has been dead since Aug. 1. She doesn't use credit cards, the OnStar in her car is 2G so it's no longer traceable," said Carey.

On Aug. 10, community members joined friends and family searching near Rosa's home on Highway 23 in Hinckley, where she lived with family.

Her granddaughter told WCCO police covered 5,000 miles in an aerial search, and they covered a lot of ground with ATVs and other vehicles. After a week of searching, they're calling for help from the community.

"We've got a lot of friends and family and loved ones here," said Carey. "She's a very beloved member of the community, raised her six kids in St. Paul, Maplewood, Oakdale areas and we all still live here in Minnesota and we just want to find our grandma."

She was last seen wearing dark pants and a white top.
