Authorities in California have uncovered a body in a park
located just three and a half miles from the last
known sighting of a missing woman. The Santa Clara County
Sheriff's Office reported that the remains were discovered beneath a
bridge near Anderson Lake County Park, the site where eighteen
(00:22):
year old Marissa Denapoli was last seen. However, it has
not yet been confirmed if the body belongs to her.
According to NBC Bay Area, the condition of the body
has made identification difficult, said Morgan Hill Police. We must
await the results of the medical examiner before we can
share additional details. According to NBC Bay Area, it was
(00:43):
Denapolia's family who found the body while searching for her
in various locations throughout the day. The last communication from
the woman to her family was a text message sent
on June twenty eighth at nine to sixteen pm, in
which she mentioned staying at a friend's place for the
night and that she would return home the following day.

When Dinapolli failed to return home or answer calls from
her family, she was reported missing as indicated by the
police statement. She was last spotted on June twenty ninth
at nine forty five am with her boyfriend, twenty one
year old Martin Mendoza, who is considered a person of
interest in her disappearance. They were seen leaving a residence
(01:24):
near Morgan Hill, where Marissa's vehicle was found. Surveillance footage
from Sunday morning shows Marissa and Mendoza departing a house,
during which he questioned her about texting an ex boyfriend.

potential threat to her, also sharing what she meant to
her family and community.
