Vermont State Police say they have found the body of a missing woman from St. Johnsbury.

State Police say, 34-year-old Kimberly Willis of St. Johnsbury told her two boys that she was going to visit a friend when she left her house Thursday. Two days later, police found her body.

"We did discover a body, female body that we believe is who we're looking for, Kimberly Willis," said Lt. Det. Thomas Hango, Vermont State Police.

Investigators say Willis left her St. Johnsbury home on Federal Street leaving her 12 and 17-year-old sons home alone. They say, she told them that she'd be back soon and was visiting a friend in Concord, Vermont. Her family reported her missing Friday and later that evening police found her car abandoned in Albany, Vermont.

Albany is about an hour northwest of St. Johnsbury, the opposite direction of where she said she was going.
The New England Canine team and state police search teams discovered the mother's body near her car late Saturday morning.

The St. Johnsbury Police Chief says, this is suspicious, but police are waiting for autopsy results to learn more about how she died.

"There's a lot of evidence still to collect, to include for example autopsy, toxicology. Continue to do interviews with people who knew her, people that saw her recently," said Chief Clem Houde, St. Johnsbury Police Department.
Chief Houde says her two son's are being taken care of by the state, "Department for Children and Family Services assisted yesterday in placing her sons in protective custody.”

Willis' body is on its way to Burlington for an autopsy.

Police tell us that it will be a couple of days before they know how she died.
