The search for a missing teenager in Schenectady, New York, has come to a tragic end.
Samantha Humphrey‘s parents have been frantically searching for her for three months now. The 14-year-old was last seen on the night of November 25, around 11 p.m. According to her family in a GoFundMe, she had snuck out of the house “to meet her ex-boyfriend,” who was the last person known to have seen her alive. That was in Riverside Park — and as it turns out she didn’t get far…
On Wednesday a body was found in the water below an old railroad bridge in the same area. Police were called to Riverside Park after two fishermen called 911 to report seeing what appeared to be a human head bobbing just below the surface of the water. Cops found what turned out to be an intact body, which they recovered at about 4 p.m. on Wednesday. According to local outlet WNYT‘s sources, the corpse was crammed inside an old shopping cart and tied down, possibly in an attempt to keep it from being found under the water. It worked for a while. Both family members and police spent weeks searching that area to no avail. But there she was, just below the water.
