LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A body pulled from the Ohio River in western Kentucky has been identified as a missing woman from Oldham County.

Officers with the Owensboro Police Department were called to the 1400 block of West 1st Street just before 7:30 p.m. Tuesday on a report that a deceased individual had been located along the riverfront, according to Officer Andrew Boggess, a spokesperson for the police department.
