The body of a 30-year-old Mankato woman missing since late April was found Friday morning in a swamp east of the city, authorities said.
A canoeist discovered Nyawuor "Sunday" Chuol's body shortly after 9 a.m. on the southwest corner of Eagle Lake, the Blue Earth County Sheriff's Office said.
"The body was found adjacent to the primary search area, and it is unknown if recent severe weather contributed to the discovery," the Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
Sheriff's deputies and conservation officers recovered the body.
Authorities said the circumstances surrounding Chuol's death remained under investigation. Autopsy results from the Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office were pending.
Chuol was last seen on the night of April 25 at a Casey's gas station about 10 miles east of Mankato in the community of Eagle Lake along the lake of the same name.
