GARDEN CITY (AP) -- The body of a missing 16-year-old has been found in a southwest Kansas Dumpster.
The Garden City Police Department said in a news release that detectives searched the dumpster Tuesday morning after receiving a tip. The body of Julia Quintana of Deerfield has been taken to Wichita for an autopsy.
Family members of the teen had filed a missing person report Sunday in Kearny County. They also contacted officials from Garden City, which is located in neighboring Finney County.
The agencies began a joint search for the teen.
Police said no suspects were in custody. But detectives have obtained a warrant to search the address where her body was found.
