Bemidji Pioneer: Body found in wooded area identified as missing Bemidji woman

BEMIDJI -- The body of a missing Bemidji woman was found Friday morning in a wooded area near the intersection of Little Norway Avenue Southeast and Roosevelt Road Southeast.

Beltrami County Sheriff Phil Hodapp said the clothing on the body matches that worn by 26-year-old Chelsea Batchelder, reported missing last week. In a news release, Hodapp wrote that investigators identified the body as Batchelder’s, though at the scene he said investigators could not know the identity for sure until an autopsy was performed.
