Ten months to the day since she was last seen, it appears the remains of Linda Stoltzfoos have been found.
The Lancaster County District Attorney's office announced Wednesday that human remains were found in a rural area in the eastern part of the county. Officials didn't immediately identify the remains as belonging to the 18-year-old Amish woman, but said they were related to the case.
On Thursday, Lancaster County DA Heather Adams said at a news conference she and law enforcement officials "strongly believe and (are) comfortable in saying" the remains belong to Stoltzfoos.
"In a preliminary review, the coroner has determined the remains are female, of relevant age, and dress and shoes are consistent to those worn by Linda on the day of her disappearance," Adams said.
