"We had a missing woman, Judith Burr, and the community organized this search today and about ten minutes into the search one of the volunteers, who was an off-duty Niagara Falls fireman, he found her laying in the woods next to a tree," said Lt. Michael Trane of the Niagara Falls Police Department.

The body of 67-year old Judith Burr was found in a wooded area off of 102nd Street near Colvin, just a few blocks from where her car was discovered last Friday near a Senior Center. It was locked with her keys inside.

Police say Burr was last seen by her husband Friday afternoon before he went to work. When he returned home that evening, she was gone. Police immediately conducted a door-to-door in Burr's neighborhood.

Family and friends posted flyers from Niagara Falls to Lewiston and even launched a campaign on Facebook.

"Every hour on the hour somebody was posting it on Facebook so that we could try to find her," said Melissa Fuller.

Melissa Fuller says Burr was her godmother. She was one of the more than a hundred people who came out to help with the search. She say it’s a mystery why a retired grandmother who loved her family and friends, volunteered in her spare time, and had no known mental or emotional issues would just wander off.

“Nobody really knows what happened or why she would leave the house or anything. There's just no answers at this point in time," said Fuller.

Police say Burr was fully clothed and there were no obvious signs of foul play however as a matter of procedure they are treating it as suspicious.

"I have no idea. I couldn't begin to guess what preceded all this and what caused her death right now," said Lt. Trane.

She was a sweet, mild mannered, soft spoken, amazing mother grandmother, wife," said Fuller.

An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday.
