Morin's boyfriend called authorities sometime around 11:20 p.m. Saturday, reporting her as missing, Gahler said, and indicated his girlfriend's car was in the lot on Williams Street, near the brewery. A missing person's investigation was launched.

Then, just after 1 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 6, a citizen called 911: A woman's body was found off the Ma and Pa Trail, Gahler said. While authorities believe that was Rachel's body, an autopsy will determined that. 

Meanwhile, Morin's family had launched a GoFundMe for her funeral.

Police did not say whether or not any suspects had been identified.
