ARVADA, Colo.—Arvada police say a body found in a construction site is that of a missing 10-year-old girl.
Police say a construction worker found the body of Kristina Vlassenko (vlah-SEN’-coe) Tuesday morning in the western suburb. The Denver Post reports that crime-scene tape was placed around a deep hole partially filled with water.
Authorities don’t suspect foul play.
Police started looking for Kristina, who was autistic, after her family reported her missing Monday afternoon. She was wearing a radio transmission device to help locate her, but police say they didn’t get a signal. They speculate it might have been underwater.
