ELKO, Nev.  — Law enforcement in northeastern Nevada said Monday that they have found the body of a 16-year-old girl who went missing, and she appears to be the victim of a homicide.

The Elko County Sheriff's Office said Monday that the body of Gabrielle (Britney) Lynn Ujlaky was found Wednesday between the city of Elko and the community of Spring Creek, about 15 miles away.

The sheriff's office said investigators have been "working around the clock following up on leads and tips" but have not yet identified a suspect.
