The body of a missing college student has been discovered in a river more than a month after she went missing.

Police confirmed Tuesday that the body found over the weekend in the Feather River near Live Oak, California is that of college student Alycia Leane Yeoman, 20, who went missing on March 30.

Yeoman's body was found around 12.46pm on Sunday by an angler fishing south of the boat launch at the Live Oak Recreational Park, officials with the Sutter County Sheriff's Department said in a statement.

The river is about 10 miles north from Yuba City, where Yeoman was last seen leaving a home in her green Toyota Tacoma

Investigation into the cause and manner of death is ongoing, but local residents didn't mince words that they suspected the worst.

'There was foul play involved,' Don Jacobsen, who works at the park, speculated in an interview with the Sacramento Bee. 'That girl was too respectable to be around here at 11 o'clock at night.'

The Yuba College student was last seen alive leaving a male friend's home in Yuba City, about 10 miles south of Live Oak, on March 30 at around 11pm.

Yeoman lived in Gridley, which is also north of Yuba City, and it is possible her route home would have taken her through Live Oak.

Police and FBI agents were seen searching this home where Yeoman was last seen the week after she disappeared. It is not known whether they suspect any connection

On March 31, a Friday, workers at an orchard near Live Oak spotted Yeoman's green Toyota Tacoma truck

On March 31, a Friday, workers at an orchard near Live Oak spotted Yeoman's truck.

The green 1998 Toyota Tacoma was parked and covered with mud.

Apparently not realizing the connection to the suspicious disappearance the prior evening, the workers didn't report the truck to police until the following Monday.

Police confirmed the truck was Yeoman's and found the young woman's cell phone in nearby as well.

Tracking dogs were used to search the area, but did not lead investigators to the body.

The day after the discovery of the truck, police and FBI investigators were seen searching the house in Yuba City where Yeoman was last seen alive.

Concerned friends said that her disappearance was 'really worrying' and 'not like her' at all

The orchard where the truck and phone were found are near Pennington Road, which leads directly to the recreation area on the Feather River where Yeoman's body was found on Sunday.

The gruesome discovery sparked an outpouring of sympathy and support on a Facebook page devoted to finding justice for Yeoman.

'I'm sending my prayers up for your family,' wrote Stephanie Kelley. 'I hope they get answers so your momma and daddy can be at peace and heal.'
