OPP say the disappearance of a South Glengarry woman is now being considered a homicide after her body was found in the township Saturday morning.

The body of 26-year-old Emilie Maheu was found at around 11:30 a.m., Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry OPP said in a news release.

Maheu had last been seen at her workplace in Alexandria, Ont., at around 1 p.m. two days earlier.

She was reported missing from a home on County Road 34 later that night.

A spokesperson with the detachment would not say Saturday where in the township Maheu's body was located.

Investigators, however, were out combing a crime scene near the edge of a corn field on Concession Road 3 Sunday afternoon.

'Whole town is affected'

South Glengarry residents told Radio-Canada Sunday they'd been shaken by the news of Maheu's death — and that Alexandria was normally a very quiet place.

"We know the whole family. They are great parents, and the whole town is affected," said Rachel Bourgon in a French-language interview.

As of Sunday afternoon, police said they had no suspects in Maheu's death. An autopsy will take place in the coming days in Ottawa.
