WYOMING - Two kayakers told police Tuesday night they saw a body in the Grand River near the Wyoming-Grandville border, prompting authorities to converge near the water's edge, according to dispatch reports.

Grandville Police had requested a small boat to use to reach the area where the body was seen, along westbound I-196 near a Grandville exit.

The body was spotted just before 8 p.m.

Police at 9:30 p.m. said they were waiting for Wyoming Police officers to arrive, as the stretch of river where the body was spotted was technically in Wyoming.

Police at 11 p.m. confirmed they had launched two boats - one carrying a medical examiner - to travel to where the body was seen.

There were no initial reports identifying the body as male or female. Police did not disclose the condition of the body, or say if it was submerged or difficult to reach.

It was reportedly found in an area where the river had flooded its banks.

Police earlier in the day said they were using a helicopter to search for Mary Tornga, 51, a Grandville woman who has not been seen since the early morning hours of Sunday, April 14.

A family friend said Tornga's friends and family were at the scene late Tuesday.

Police said the body would not be identified until Wednesday. An autopsy is planned.
