FARMINGTON, Utah — A young woman who went missing this weekend was found dead in the mountains above Farmington.
Mia Casto, 19, was reported missing by her family around 12:40 p.m. on Saturday. She was last seen leaving her apartment in Farmington the day before the report, according to a missing person flyer.
Farmington Police said her body was found Sunday around 3 p.m. in the area of Rudd Creek, above the city. The multi-agency search consisted of tracking dogs, drones, helicopters, the Davis County Search and Rescue Team, and other investigative resources.
Officials also said there were no signs of foul play. On Monday, Farmington Police Chief Eric Johnsen told FOX 13 News that they believe her death was an accident, likely from a "series of falls."
"The Farmington City Police Department extends its deepest condolences to Mia’s family, friends, and loved ones," the department said in a statement. "We also offer our gratitude to the Department of Public Safety, Davis County Search and Rescue, the Davis County Sheriff’s Office, the Centerville Police Department, and all others that aided in the search efforts."
A GoFundMe has been set up to help Casto's family.
