The RCMP are investigating after a body was found in a wooded area in St. David Ridge, near Oak Haven, N.B.
Police say two hunters found the body around 3:30 p.m. Thursday.
Police have not yet determined the person’s gender, age, or the circumstances surrounding their death.
However, they say evidence at the scene suggests foul play is involved.
The RCMP and forensic units are on scene.
A forensic autopsy will be performed in Saint John. Police say they will know more about the person’s identity once the autopsy is complete.
Investigators have been scouring the Oak Haven area for more than a week after a woman disappeared from her home.
No one has seen or heard from 53-year-old Dorothy Tucker since before 10 p.m. on Nov. 9. She was reported missing the following day.
Investigators said evidence found at Tucker’s McGeachy Lane home suggests foul play may have been involved in her disappearance, but they haven’t said what that evidence is.
Her family released a statement Wednesday, urging anyone with information to come forward.
