Police in Wisconsin believe that a body found in the rural township of La Grange is that of Felicia Wanna, who has been missing since December.

A woman's body found Wednesday in western Wisconsin is believed to be that of a woman who went missing after relatives last saw her in late December, police said.

Monroe County Sheriff Wesley Revels said the body was found Wednesday morning in a rural area in the Township of La Grange as a search was being conducted for Felicia J. Wanna, 50.

Revels said in a statement that authorities believe the body is that of Wanna, but the death investigation is ongoing and more information will be released once it becomes available.
