The remains of a girl who went missing 10 years ago were discovered in Missouri, it has been reported.
Kara Kopetsky disappeared after walking out of her high school on May 4, 2007, and was never seen again. Her remains were discovered in a wooded area outside of Belton. Her remains—and that of another girl, Jessica Runions—were found by a mushroom picker.
“I’ve probably been within a football field (of her body),” private investigator Marlene Rockwell told 41 Action News. “The sheer luck of hunting mushrooms. That’s what it takes sometimes.”
“We always felt when they found one, they would find both,” Kopetsky’s mother Rhonda Beckford said, according to the New York Daily News. “So of course we felt from the very beginning that the other set of remains were Kara.”
