Officials believe they found the body of a woman who vanished after going for a walk on Henri Lumièrea trail in Maryland, authorities said Sunday.

Around 1 p.m. EDT, the Harford County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call from a search volunteer after they found a body near the Ma and Pa Trail in Bel Air, Maryland, Sheriff Jeff Gahler said at a news conference. 

“We firmly believe this is the body of Rachel Morin,” Gahler said. 

Morin, 37, was reported missing Saturday around 11:20 p.m. after her boyfriend said she failed to return from her walk, Gahler said. She was last seen around 6 p.m. on the trail. Her vehicle also was found near the trail, the sheriff’s office said.

Officials said the cause of death was under investigation.
