The Bernalillo County Sheriff鈥檚 Office is investigating the death of an 83-year-old woman who was found dead in the East Mountains a few days ago.
BCSO spokeswoman Jayme Gonzales said Bonny Dumond had been reported to law enforcement as missing on June 16. She was found dead on Friday.
Sgt. Autumn Nease said last week Dumond was last seen in the Manzano Springs neighborhood around Niki Court and Holli Loop around 7 p.m. on June 14, when she departed her friend鈥檚 house. Law enforcement believes the woman, who lives alone, did not make it home that evening.
Gonzales said that following the disappearance, BCSO started an 鈥渆xtensive search鈥� that included air support, drones and BCSO Open Space.
Dumond鈥檚 body was located in the Tijeras area. The cause and the circumstances leading to her death are still under thorough investigation, Gonzales said.
Gonzales said anyone with information related to the case should call 505-798-7000.
