Spanish police find body of Us missing tourist

Madrid - Spanish police have found the body of
US tourist Denise Pikka Thiem, who went missing
in April as she was walking the Camino de
Santiago pilgrimage route in northwestern Spain,
and have detained a suspect.
Thiem was last seen near Astorga, in the province
of Leon, in early April. She stopped posting
pictures on social networks and communicating
with friends on April 4.
"Following months of intense investigations, our
agents have found the body of Denise and
detained the alleged perpetrator," the head of the
Spanish police, Ignacio Cosido, said on Twitter.
A police spokesperson told Reuters the man, a
39-year-old Spaniard who lived in the area where
the body was found, was detained on Friday on
suspicion of murder.
Thiem, who was from Phoenix, Arizona, was 40
when she disappeared and would have turned 41
in August.
