LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Los Angeles woman who disappeared months ago has been found dead in New Mexico but authorities say they don’t suspect foul play.

Police Wednesday say the body of Denise Coultas was discovered last week on the Acoma Indian reservation, near the spot where she’d last been seen.

Officials say Coultas had diminished mental capacity and a history of wandering away from her family.



She was reported missing in November. A search was hampered by bad weather and rugged terrain.
