TARRYTOWN, N.Y. - The mother of Army private Elizabeth Lynch-Gonzalez, who jumped from the Tappan Zee Bridge early Thursday, said her daughter was upset that her deployment to a Texas military base had been moved up to Thursday.

The mother said her daughter, who was 19 and 2009 graduate of Lakeland High School, was greatly upset when she found out Wednesday that her deployment order for Fort Hood had been moved up to Thursday.

The comments of the mother, Mary Ellen Lynch, came moments before police confirmed that a body found in the Hudson River a few miles south of the bridge was her daughter's.

The body washed ashore in Dobbs Ferry shortly after noon, 10 hours after the young woman jumped from the middle of the Tappan Zee Bridge.

Lynch-Gonzalez, who turned 19 in May, parked her car on the Rockland-bound side of the bridge about 2:30 a.m., climbed over the railings, and jumped.

A construction worker on the bridge who saw what happened called authorities.

State police at Tarrytown called out marine units and fire department boats and divers from both sides of the Hudson River in a search for the victim.

By sun up, the search had become a recovery effort, police said.

"This is a tragedy," said Jim Van Develde, communications director for the Lakeland Central School District. "People here are reacting with a great deal of sadness."

Members of the district's crisis intervention team offered providing counseling to students and teachers.

Lynch-Gonzalez received her Army basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.

The young woman was the second military member this year to jump from the bridge. In March, the body of Wolf Aristilde, 22, of Spring Valley was found on the banks of the Hudson near Yonkers after he apparently plunged from the Tappan Zee on Jan. 3.

Aristilde was an Army reservist with the 325 Military Intelligence Battalion in the Bronx and had been scheduled to be deployed to Iraq this month.
