A 21-year-old woman reported missing this past month in Longview has been found dead in a wooded area, police said.

Longview police were notified Saturday afternoon by a person who had discovered a possible body in the 4700 block of Tanglewood Road.

"Officers were able to identify the body as Nyah Newton," police said in a statement. "There are no obvious signs of foul play in this case, however an autopsy has been requested. At this time the investigation is still ongoing."

Police said Newton's family has been notified.

Newton was last seen in early January near the 4800 block of Tanglewood.
