A body has been found in the search for a missing dog walker, police have said. Ausra Plungiene, 56, from Prestatyn, North Wales, was last seen on Tuesday when she is believed to have left for a walk with her dog Eyora at about 10.30am but failed to return home.
A search across Eryri national park in Snowdonia was co-ordinated after the alarm was raised shortly before 10pm on Tuesday and her car was found in a remote car park in the Rowen area in the early hours of Wednesday, The Mirror reports.
On Thursday, April 13, mountain rescue team members found a woman's body near Yr Aryg in the Carneddau mountain range, a force spokesman confirmed.

A dog was found alive at the location and Ms Plungiene's family has been informed, although formal identification has yet to take place.
Superintendent Owain Llewelyn said: "I would like to offer my thanks to all involved in the search for Ausra, in what have been extremely difficult weather conditions.
"Finally, I would appeal for Ausra's family to be afforded some privacy during the coming days."
Search teams worked through snow and gale force winds in the search for Ms Plungiene.
