APALACHIN, N.Y. -- A body of a woman has been found in the area where the New York State Police and others have spent days searching for a missing Upstate New York woman.

The body of a white woman was found Thursday near State Route 17 in Apalachin, troopers said in a news release this afternoon. Police did not release the woman’s identity.

Police have spent days searching the same area for Casie Weese, of Glen Aubrey, a white woman who was reported missing early Sunday.

Weese, 37, went missing after leaving a party with her husband, troopers said. She was last seen walking east on Main Street in Apalachin, a small hamlet west of Binghamton in Tioga County.

Police have used a drone, a helicopter and a K-9 from another police department to search for Weese. Officers and people from other agencies also joined in the search.

Early Sunday, the couple left the party in their car and started driving east on Main Street in Apalachin, troopers said. They only traveled a short distance when their car broke down on Main Street with a flat tire, troopers said.

Casie Weese’s husband, Ronnie Weese, told police he asked his daughter to call 911 to report her mother missing after she did not return home later Sunday. He also told police he and Casie had a disagreement before she walked away hours earlier, police said.

When state police interviewed Ronnie Weese troopers said they saw a spare tire on the car. They also said he was cooperating with the investigation.

Ronnie Weese posted on social media several times, urging his wife to come home and asking for people to watch out for her.
