Investigation revealed the vehicle belonged to Rogers and that she was had been reported as missing by her family on June 4 to the Saskatoon Police Service.
Saskatoon police said Rogers last spoke to her family on May 31 and she may have been driving to Borden to visit a friend.
On Tuesday, searchers mobilized to conduct a ground search of the immediate area.
The RCMP underwater recovery team was also deployed due to the vehicle’s close proximity to the river.
At around 4 p.m. CT on Wednesday, the team located the body of Rogers in the water near her vehicle.
RCMP are not considering foul play and believe her death was non-criminal in nature. An autopsy is expected to take place later this week.
