Vehicle of missing Gardnerville woman found; body not ID’d
The vehicle belonging to a missing Gardnerville woman was found Nov. 14 90-feet down the side of an embankment near the old power dam on the East Fork of the Carson River in Gardnerville.
The vehicle matched what 56-year-old Patricia Loraine Bosch was driving when she was reported missing by family members Nov. 11.
Bosch was last seen Nov. 2 when she left her home in Bodie Flats, South Gardnerville, to drive to the FISH Thrift store in Carson City.
Deputies said because of the extensive crushing damage on the vehicle and inverted positioning of the vehicle when it came to rest, the body inside the vehicle could not be removed or fully observed; therefore identity of the decedent is unknown. However, based upon the description of the vehicle and the recent missing person circumstances, it is suspected the body is that of Bosch, deputies said.
The vehicle is expected to be hauled out of the ravine today.
