IDAHO - A single mother who has been missing more than a week was found dead, Sunday afternoon. Police say a suicide note was found near the body.
The body of 36-year-old Michelle Erickson was found lying 15-20 feet away from her red Pontiac Grand AM in Idaho.
A group of campers were hiking up Walker Creek Canyon –-25 miles south of Pocatello-- when they say the spotted the vehicle and smelled what they believed to be a dead body.
The campers called the Bannock County Sheriff’s Department, who confirmed Erickson’s death.
Officers say they will wait for results from a coroner to confirm the cause of death, but they suspect suicide. So far the coroner has determined the body had been in the canyon for more than ten days.
Michelle Erickson was a mother of two children. She lived in Salt Lake City.
Michelle always had a smile. Some of my best memories from high school are of her. She was a great girl with a big heart. Michelle didn't let the little things bother her. I don't know how to express my thoughts to her family, as I couldn't even begin to understand their loss. My thoughts and prayers will always be with them.
