RCMP said the body of a 23-year-old Alberta woman, who hasn’t been seen in nearly two weeks, was found in a rural, wooded area north of St. Francis, Alta. on Friday afternoon, near the Genesee Natural Area.

Mounties said Kelsey Kramer had been reported missing by her mother on March 22. Police were able to determine Kramer was last seen Saturday, March 19 when she was believed to be heading to Drayton Valley.

RCMP said they found a green Ford Freestyle that Kramer was believed to be driving but did not say where the vehicle was found.

On two different occasions, the RCMP had appealed to the public for help in determining Kramer’s whereabouts.
