Body of Coreen Wiese May Have been Found in Saco River (Update: Confirmed Body is Coreen)
It has been a little over 6 months since 15 year old, Bonny Eagle High School 
sophomore Coreen Wiese went missing on November 8, 2006. Just recently a 6 months vigil was held for missing Coreene Wiese.
During the search for the missing teen suicide notes were found as well as possible sighting of Coreen Wiese. On late Friday night a body was found floating in the Saco River that is being speculated as being that of the missing Coreen Wiese. A group of teenagers found the body around 11:55pm on Friday night about 6 miles downstream from where Coreen Wiese was reported last seen. It looks like this case has come to an all to sad end.
The family of missing teenager Coreen Wiese is awaiting word on whether the body of a female found floating in the Saco River late Friday night is that of the 15-year-old girl.
State medical examiner Dr. Margaret Green-wald plans to perform an autopsy on the body this afternoon, according to her office.“The hope is a positive identification will take place at this time,” said Stephen McCausland, spokesman for Maine’s Department of Public Safety.
A woman answering the phone at the Wiese home identified herself as a family member and said the girl’s parents would have nothing to say before the autopsy.
The woman added that everyone in the community probably can understand how the family must feel about “not knowing.”The Maine Warden Service said that after the body was found, it canceled a search for Wiese that had been scheduled for May 20. (Portland Press Hearald)
