PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Wednesday that a body they recently discovered was Jeannie Enyeart, 47, who went missing from Portland in late January.

According to authorities, on Jan. 29, deputies contacted an abandoned vehicle stuck in a snow berm in Stevenson, Washington. Officials said they quickly contacted Portland police and told them the vehicle was involved with Enyeart.

Working together, the two departments said they searched the area and the vehicle, eventually recovering Enyeart’s body.

In a statement from Skamania County Sheriff Summer Scheyer, they shared that it was a difficult case and information had to be restricted to obtain justice for Enyeart.

“This case was complicated and information was restricted for dissemination to ensure case integrity. Difficult decisions were made to withhold details in the case as our sole mission was to obtain justice for Ms. Enyeart. Many details have yet to be released, as this investigation is on-going,” Scheyer said.

Enyeart’s fiancé Jon French was arrested and made his first appearance in court Tuesday on charges of second-degree murder and second-degree abuse of a corpse.
