Police found the body of Georgia woman inside a vehicle Saturday, nearly two weeks after she vanished from a Macon rehabilitation center.
According to WMAZ, Warner Robins officers found 70-year-old Teresa Meharg deceased inside a vehicle located off of Gunn Road in Houston County.
A preliminary investigation indicated that Meharg likely crashed into a ditch.
As Criminal Enterprise reported, Meharg was last seen July 12 while leaving work at the Blossom Healthcare and Rehabilitation off Whiteside Road.
News 41 reports that a Flock camera captured Meharg’s vehicle at 12:48 a.m. July 12, driving from Eisenhower Parkway to Interstate 75 South at 12:48 a.m. Police described the vehicle as a black Jeep Patriot SUV with Georgia license tag SAB 1703.
The route, according to family, is in the opposite direction of Meharg’s residence.
A co-worker reportedly said Meharg claimed her daughter was supposed to pick her up, but her daughter, Kelly Haynes, stated that was not true.
The co-worker also found Meharg’s purse, cellphone and wallet on beanch outside of the rehabilitation facility.
The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office believes that Meharg may have been experiencing a medical emergency. They do not believe foul play is involved.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the official cause and manner of death.
The investigation is ongoing. Check back for updates.
