Body of missing Deerfield teen found in Dumpster

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.
