A woman in her seventies who went missing more than a month ago in La Mesa was found dead of unknown causes this week next to an onramp to I-8, La Mesa police said Tuesday.

State road workers discovered the body of Vivian Crowder, 71, next to the connector from La Mesa Boulevard to the eastbound 8 freeway on Monday morning.

The whereabouts of Crowder, who suffered from dementia, had been unknown since the afternoon of Oct. 29, when she was spotted walking alongside state Route 125 over I-8, police said.

“Thank you to the many citizens, volunteer organizations, and Sheriff’s Search and
Rescue, for their support and contributions to the search for Ms. Crowder since she was
reported missing,” the La Mesa Police Department said in a statement.

“The Crowder Family asks for privacy during this difficult time.”

Her cause of death is not yet known.

The La Mesa Police Department and the San Diego County Medical Examiner are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death.
