The vehicle that is crashed in the ravine belongs to Shawna Ressler, and the evidence in the vehicle as well as some of the clothing on the deceased appears to match what Mrs. Ressler was wearing when she was last seen on Sunday, Aug. 4," he said. "That does not mean that she's been positively identified."
Whittaker said positive identification is pending a forensic examination by the Mercer County Coroner's Office.
The missing person case investigation of Ressler has been suspended pending the identification of the traffic crash victim, Whittaker noted.
"We have sufficient information from the missing person's investigation and descriptors of Shawna that we could utilize some of that information to come to the preliminary conclusion that we have, at least at this point," Whittaker said. "We always want to rely on the coroner's determination to positively identify."
Right now the incident appears to be a traffic accident, but the investigation is just getting underway, Mercer County Chief Deputy Gery Thobe said. No word was given on how long the vehicle had been sitting in the ditch.
"We have no idea what the cause of the death of … the occupant of the vehicle is yet. That's for the Mercer County coroner to investigate," Whittaker added.
Whittaker said this has been a joint operation and investigation from the moment Ressler's family reported her missing and will continue as such.

Ressler may be victim of fatal crash - Daily Advocate
This is the area on Stateline Road in Mercer County where a car belonging to Shawna Ressler is believed to have crashed.

[...]
On Wednesday afternoon, at least seven law enforcement vehicles, including the Mercer County Sheriff's Office's crime-scene and crash-reconstruction vehicle, lined the Ohio side of Stateline Road near the wooded ravine. About a mile stretch of the road was closed as authorities worked.
At 2:16 p.m. a Southwest Mercer Fire Department truck arrived on a scene. A crew of firefighters, including one carrying a chainsaw, walked over to where law enforcement officials were stationed.
Bursts of chain-sawing could be heard intermittently for the next few hours.
"My understanding is the fire department did cut a couple of trees down trying to stabilize the vehicle before they could get it back on its wheels," Thobe said.
Eventually, what appeared to be a body was placed into the back of a black minivan. Not long after, a wrecker pulled the Trailblazer from the wooded area.

As sad as this is I'm so glad she's been found and can have a proper burial. Her loved ones can begin to heal and her children will no longer wonder where Mommy is or if she'll ever come home. RIP Shawna.
