TOOELE, Utah — Nearly a week after going missing, police say a local woman has been found dead in Salt Lake City.
According to the Tooele City Police Department, they were notified at around 10:15 p.m. Tuesday by Salt Lake City police that a vehicle belonging to Karen Crawford had been located and that she was found dead inside.
Police did not say where Crawford's black Mazda CX-5 was discovered, but it was found several miles from where she was last seen Thursday near the Fashion Place Mall in Murray.
While an investigation is underway, no foul play is suspected in Crawford's death.
After Crawford was last heard from, family said she had not used her phone or any kind of debit or credit card since. According to Crawford's family, the 43-year-old wife and mother had struggled with bipolar disorder and had recently attempted to harm herself.
"We are so thankful for the people that didn't even know Karen who showed their love and compassion for them being willing to search for her," said Christy Johnson, Crawford's sister. "We did feel the love and we are thankful for that."
A GoFundMe has been set up to help her family.
