SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) - Authorities have positively identified a body found in a northeastern Pennsylvania pond as that of a woman missing for five months.
The (Scranton) Times-Tribune (https://bit.ly/1f30uAi ) reports that the Lackawanna County coroner’s office used dental records to identify the body as that of 56-year-old Diane Zavislak of Trucksville.
Police were called to a site near the Susquehanna River after the body was found Saturday. Zavislak’s car had been found in November a few miles upstream.
Chief James Balavage of the Kingston Township police department said he doesn’t know whether the death was a homicide or a suicide. The coroner’s office says the cause and manner of death remain under investigation.
