The body of missing 69-year-old Janet Spoon has been found in a pond in Cowley County.
Spoon had been missing since Friday, December 22; she was last seen by a family friend, and had left the friend's home that night.
On Saturday the 23rd, Cowley County sheriff's deputies responded to the report of a vehicle in a field in the area of 121st Rd and U.S. Highway 160, east of Winfield; it's believed her vehicle had become disabled, and she'd left the area on foot.
On Christmas Day on Monday, the sheriff's office was informed that a body had been discovered in a pond behind Gottlob Lawn and Landscape, which is just east of Winfield. Authorities identified the body as that of Spoon.
The investigation continues, pending an autopsy.
