Police in Puerto Rico have discovered a body while searching for a missing Indianapolis art teacher who disappeared during a vacation on the Caribbean island. Amanda Webster, 44, was reported missing on Wednesday after she failed to check out of the guest house where she was staying. She left behind all her belongings and rented car. Authorities have not confirmed if the body found in the river is Webster’s or if foul play is suspected.
Webster was last seen near El Yunque National Park in Naguabo, a tropical rainforest in northeastern Puerto Rico known for its trails and natural attractions. The body was discovered in the same river where police had been conducting their search. The gender of the body and any signs of violence are yet to be determined.
Upon learning of Webster’s disappearance, Puerto Rican police activated an “Ashanti Alert,” which is a missing persons alert for adults at risk. The investigation is being conducted by the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Police, State Emergency Management staff, and the U.S. Forest Service.
Webster’s mother, Pamela, expressed her gratitude for the support and prayers on social media. Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact the authorities.
