Miss­ing 81 year old found

Two weeks of prayers and vig­ils for the re­turn of miss­ing pen­sion­er Rosie Ra­moutar end­ed in bad news yes­ter­day when po­lice dis­cov­ered her re­mains in a cane­field. Around 3 am, a team of Cen­tral Di­vi­sion Task Force of­fi­cers led by Supt Abra­ham and Cpl Bar­row, ac­com­pa­nied by the Ca­nine Unit, be­gan their search in a forest­ed area off Are­na Road, Ca­paro. By 4 am, the body of the 81-year-old grand­moth­er had been found in a cane­field ap­prox­i­mate­ly two miles from her Chick­land, Ca­paro home.

Po­lice said there were no vis­i­ble signs of vi­o­lence but the body was in an ad­vanced state of de­com­po­si­tion. Ra­moutar was last seen clean­ing her yard on Feb­ru­ary 16. Rel­a­tives told po­lice that she walked across the road to dump garbage and when she failed to re­turn home on the same night, they made a miss­ing per­son's re­port at the Bras­so Po­lice Sta­tion.

Ra­moutar's son Siew­dath Ra­moutar said he could not imag­ine how his moth­er got to the cane­field, and will have to await the out­come of po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tions. He said al­though his moth­er suf­fered from Alzheimer's, she was an ac­tive per­son who cleaned, cooked and washed for her­self. The woman's son who was at home when po­lice made the dis­cov­ery, said when he got the news of the dis­cov­ery of the body he couldn't do any­thing at all. Bras­so po­lice are con­tin­u­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions.
