The Berkshire District Attorney’s Office says remains found Thursday are believed to be that of a Capital Region teacher who has been missing since March.
42-year-old Meghan Marohn of Bethlehem, who taught at Shaker High School in Colonie, was last seen in Lee, Massachusetts where police found her car at Longcope Park March 29th.
The DA’s office says on Thursday evening a person found remains in a heavily wooded area near Fox Drive off of Church Street in Lee.
The office says investigators are still searching the area, but evidence collected so far indicates a high likelihood that the remains are that of Marohn.
North Colonie Central Schools Superintendent Joseph Corr said in a statement Friday Marohn was "a valued member of our school community and the news of her death impacts us all."
"The district is focused on supporting its students, teachers, staff and the community," Corr said. "The district will be offering counseling services for those who would like to receive support. Details about support opportunities will be shared directly with faculty, staff and families."
