KANSAS CITY - An Emporia teacher has been found dead after disappearing from a downtown bar late Friday night during a severe winter storm.

The body of 28-year-old Rebecca Rauber, a second-grade teacher, was discovered Sunday in a wooded area just 300 yards from where she was last seen on surveillance video.

Police believe Rauber, who left her belongings behind when leaving the Town Royal bar in downtown Emporia, before walking home on foot, likely succumbed to hypothermia.
