A body found last month in the Jordan River has been identified as a West Jordan woman.
The body of 44-year-old Zephera Smith was pulled from the river in Taylorsville on July 21, the Unified Police Department announced Monday.
A cause of death has not yet been determined by the medical examiner's office, said UPD Detective Ken Hansen, noting that toxicology test results are still pending.
He said there were no signs of trauma, he said.
The body was spotted near 4500 South at about 1:10 p.m. on July 21 by some Boy Scouts walking along the Parkway Trail. The Boy Scouts contacted their scout leader, who contacted police.
The woman's home is about 6 miles west of the Jordan River Parkway Trail.
She was last seen alive the evening before by her husband, Hansen said, adding that the husband did not report her missing until July 26.
Hanson said the woman "has a history of walking, taking very long walks. It was not unusual for her to be gone for a few days."
The husband is not considered a suspect, Hansen said.
