Missing Brainerd Woman Found Deceased

The body of a 34 year-old missing Brainerd woman was found deceased early Friday morning.

Jenna Bartylla was last seen on January 7th at a home south of Brainerd. Searchers from the Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office found her body in Brainerd not far from where she was last seen by witnesses. Sheriff Scott Goddard says there is no indication of foul play. Goddard also says investigators are still hoping to locate witnesses in the case.

The Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Department and members of the County Drone Team organized a search in the area, and shortly after, Jenna Bartylla’s body was found by the Drone Team.

“At this point, we have no indication of foul play, however we are not done processing the scene,” said Sheriff Scott Goddard. “Currently my investigators are still trying to locate witnesses in this case, this is not the outcome we had hoped for in this case. Our prayers and thoughts are with Jenna’s family and friends.”

Deputies secured the area and are processing the scene.
