Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0 Jamestown Police has confirmed that Saturday morning, the search ended for 78 year old Ruby Grenz of Jamestown, when her body was found inside her minivan.<\/p>\n
Jamestown Police Chief, Scott Edinger says at 11:10-a.m. Saturday she was found by the rural fire department chief, just northwest of Jamestown.<\/p>\n
The minivan was stuck in snow along a small road\u00a0among construction vehicles\u00a0and equipment\u00a0behind Border States Paving.\u00a0\u00a0The construction vehicles and equipment\u00a0\u00a0are a similar color to her vehicle, which was not running when it was discovered.\u00a0 Snow cover also somewhat matched the silver van’s color, so it was difficult to see during the air searches.<\/p>\n
Edinger noted that it appears Grenz turned down 4th Street Northwest from U.S. Highway 281. He said the street isn\u2019t developed beyond the driveway into Border States Paving, but Grenz kept going until her minivan got stuck.<\/p>\n
He pointed out that part of the problem in locating Grenz was the tire tracks her minivan made in the snow going beyond the entrance to Border State Paving blew shut fairly quickly, so there was no sign that a vehicle had driven into that area.<\/p>\n
Further investigation will include determining the carbon monoxide level inside the van.<\/p>\n
A cause of death has not yet been determined.<\/p>\n
The Jamestown Police Department says the community showed\u00a0an overwhelming support and help during the search this week.<\/p>\n
He added citzens that helped in the search, along\u00a0with\u00a0the Postal Service\u00a0 the Civil Air Patrol and others \u00a0made a difference.<\/p>\n
Aiding in the search were,\u00a0 the Stutsman County Sheriff\u2019s Office, Jamestown Rural Fire Department, Jamestown Fire Department, the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the Regional Drug Task Force, the Civil Air Patrol and aircraft,\u00a0and other regional law enforcement agencies\u00a0and the American Red Cross.<\/p>\n
He added a big ‘thank you’ to everyone who joined the effort.<\/p>\n
