The body of a Manchester, Connecticut woman was found in the Connecticut River in Wethersfield Monday.
Police said 22-year-old Sherrian Howe was reported missing on December 21, 2021.
Police said the manner and cause of death have not been determined and are being investigated by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
An individual called Wethersfield police around 9:30 a.m. Monday to report the body, authorities said.
Police previously said a vehicle “associated with Howe” was found unoccupied in Windsor Locks on Dec. 28 and the missing person case was upgraded to a silver alert as of Dec. 29.
Howe was last seen at the iHop in Bloomfield based on surveillance footage, but Manchester Police did not look into it and claimed they needed a search warrant.
The investigation also revealed Howe checked into the Days Inn in Windsor Locks the same day she left home in December, even ordering pizza.
“Wethersfield Officers, assisted by the Wethersfield Volunteer Fire Department and the Glastonbury Volunteer Fire Department recovered the body and transported it to the Wethersfield Cove,” Wethersfield police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Wethersfield police at 860-721-2900 or Manchester Police Detective Kristopher Slate at 860-645-5543.
