She never arrived at the party. The ditch where the body was found is about 1 ½ miles west of the mall and birthday party site.
The worker who made the grisly discovery in the Greeley-Loveland Irrigation Canal said the body was naked, bloated and white, according to a 7NEWS source. A law enforcement source told 7NEWS that it is the same size, sex and age as the missing sixth-grader who attended Brentwood Middle School.
Kayleah has brown hair, blue eyes, is about 5 feet 1 inch tall and 145 pounds.
Greeley Police Sgt. Joe Tymkowych said the discovery was made at about 6 a.m. near 35th Avenue and 29th Street by the worker who was inspecting an irrigation ditch as he does daily.
When the worker opened a water-control gate near 29th Street, he spotted the body partially submerged in 3 feet of water and called 911, Tymkowych said.
Tymkowych said that area has been searched at least twice for Kayleah, who lives about a half-mile away from the ditch. However, the searches may have occurred when the water was low, or when the ditch was relatively dry. The irrigation ditch also runs underground from 47th to 35th avenues.
Heavy rains and hail deluged Greeley Tuesday night, and authorities believe the heavy water may have dislodged the body from its initial location.
