A woman in her 40s, who went missing from Söderköping, Sweden, has been found deceased.

The search, which began after she was last seen outside her home in Skäggestad, involved the police, the military, and volunteer organizations like Missing People.

Despite the extensive search efforts, including the use of drones and boats, a private individual discovered her body in a wooded area.

The police had initiated a preliminary investigation into possible abduction to expand their search capabilities, but no evidence of foul play has been found.

The police have confirmed that no suspects have been identified or arrested, and the woman's family has been informed of her passing.

The community remains in shock as they come to terms with this tragic outcome.
