Missing Eastchester Woman's Body Identified

Investigators say they have officially identified the body of Eastchester's Catherine Cotter. Authorities found her body in the Bronx River Friday. The 88-year-old, who suffered from dementia, went missing a week ago. 

During the search last week, Cotter’s daughter-in-law had asked people in Scarsdale to be on the lookout for her mother-in-law because the 88-year-old often shopped at CVS and DeCicco’s in Scarsdale.

Police say the body was found floating in the river about a mile from where Cotter lived on Garth Road. Police had been searching near the area of the Bronx River Parkway by Leewood Drive, in addition to all of Harlem Line Metro-North stations.
