Autopsy says Neenah woman drowned

MENASHA, Wis. (AP) — An autopsy has confirmed that the body recovered from Little Lake Butte des Morts was that of a 58-year-old Neenah woman who disappeared three weeks ago.

Victoria Landers was missing since April 26, when her car was found in a town of Menasha park on the lake.

Police had searched by air, land and water since then.

The body was found Thursday, floating about 200 yards from shore, and town of Menasha police recovered it.

Police say the preliminary cause of death was ruled as due to drowning, but results of all tests won't be available for several weeks.
