Authorities said the body was found in the same area as the home of the 31 year old who had been missing since early March. Right now, authorities are not saying if the two cases are connected.

Powell recently had a stroke and developed paralysis on the left side of her body.

The body was sent to the medical examiner's office Monday morning to try to determine the identity.
