Human remains found inside vehicle submerged in Rochester pond may be woman missing since 2021
ROCHESTER, Minn. – A woman's body was found in a vehicle submerged in a retention pond Wednesday afternoon in Rochester – and police believe she may have been there for nearly two years.
Police say the discovery was made on the 4000 block of 19th Street Northwest, and it appeared that the vehicle had been in the pond for some time – and was only now visible due to "dry conditions and low water level."
Investigators found Jodi Boeckermann's ID with the body. She has been missing since 2021. Police say there are no signs of foul play.
The Southern Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner's Office is working on identifying the victim.
