Remains found earlier this week belong to a Maine woman who had traveled to the Tampa Bay area in February and had gone missing, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office said Saturday.
Judith Therianos, 52, had not been seen since March 14.
Deputies responded Thursday night to a wooded area near 6633 U.S. Highway 19 in reference to a possible decomposed body. There, they found a decomposed woman's body.
A cause of death and date of death for will be determined by the medical examiner.
Therianos and another friend had traveled from Maine to the Bay area Feb. 15, deputies said.
At some point during the trip, she was dropped off at a friend's house in Tampa, and she eventually made her way to a friend's house in New Port Richey. Deputies said Therianos may have met a man named Charlie at a bar in New Port Richey before she disappeared.
The case remains is under investigation.
