The body was recovered around 5–10 miles from where a purse belonging to Ms. Ridener was recovered, near the Ouachita River.
The body was recovered a few feet away from water on a creek bank, that has not beenconfirmed to be connected to the river.
Sturgeon commented, “We are basically at the same place in the investigation, except that now we have the body. We are waiting on results from the medical examiner.”
Although the body has not been officially identified as being the missing woman, the family believes that it is her.
Contrary to Facebook rumors, there have been no arrests related to this case. One man who was considered “a person of interest,” still remains a potential suspect.
