[Staff]

DES MOINES, Iowa — The body of a woman reported missing from Yuma, Ariz., was found Tuesday in the back of a semitrailer delivering lettuce to a Hy-Vee grocery store distribution center in Iowa.

Sheila Kay Ross, 47, of McLoud, Okla., was reported missing Saturday by her husband, said Officer Clint Norred, a spokesman for the Yuma Police Department.

He said the Rosses arrived in their semi to pick up a load from a Dole plant in Yuma about 9:30 p.m. Saturday. Sheila Ross got out of the truck to get some paperwork but never returned, Norred said.

"After a while, Mr. Ross called us and the Yuma police searched the area and couldn't locate Mrs. Ross," Norred said.

Things like this are so sad to hear. Blessings to her family. I hope she didn't suffer. If someone killed her I hope they find them and make them pay.

This happened almost a year ago, don't know what ended up happening as far as the investigation is concerned. If I remember correctly, the husband became a suspect.

That's horrible. It really is sad, and a terrible tragedy. The husband always becomes a suspect though, and it's a shame when the husband is in trouble for something he didn't do. Of course there are those who are guilty too.
