Police in North Carolina say a body was spotted in a lake near where a missing fashion blogger may have vanished.
A boater in Lake Wylie contacted 911 around 5:45 p.m. Sunday to report a body floating near Buster Boyd Bridge in Charlotte — just days after authorities called off a search of the area for 39-year-old Vatsla Watkins, news station WCNC reported.
Watkins — who blogs about DIY fashion — was reported missing March 19 when she didn’t return after leaving her home in her Mercedez-Benz, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
The vehicle was later discovered abandoned March 22 at a private marina on Lake Wylie, prompting authorities to launch a week-long search of the water and surrounding areas.
The search for the mom of two was halted around 5 p.m. Friday, WCNC reported.
The victim found in the lake has not been identified, and authorities are investigating the cause of death.
