She spent time with family on Thanksgiving and was seen leaving for work at Sundance Clothing in West Valley City but never returned home and family didn’t hear from her again.
Wednesday afternoon, Utah Highway Patrol confirmed that a body found in a vehicle near State Route 201 and Bangerter Highway in West Valley City was identified at Gardner.
A Facebook page that was made by family and friends to help search for Valerie also shared the tragic news. The post reads in part, “Little information is known at this time. More will be shared with us in the coming days, and we will share what we can. Thank you for loving Valerie and for your support and efforts to find her.”
