JEFFERSON COUNTY, Mo. (KMOX) - Police are searching for a High Ridge woman whose house went up in flames early Monday.

High Ridge Fire Department Captain John Barton tells KMOX detectives will be working with the state fire marshal's office.

Barton says the house on West Lakewood Drive is a total loss, "There was very little survivable space in the house."

Barton says if investigators find remains, they'll contact the Jefferson County coroner to ID them.

The fire call came out around 3:30 AM.
