OWENSBORO, Ky. (AP) -- Police are investigating after a woman's body was pulled from a sport utility vehicle that was submerged in the Ohio River.

Daviess County Sheriff Keith Cain told the Messenger-Inquirer deputies had an open missing person case and were routinely checking the river at various locations. He said the water had fallen slightly Saturday allowing deputies to see a small portion of a vehicle. He said divers were sent in and found a woman's body.

Cain said he was unable to say whether the woman was the missing person.

Daviess County Coroner Jeff Jones that preliminary information doesn't indicate foul play.
