New Hampshire police say they believe the body pulled out of a Massachusetts river belongs to a teenager who had been reported missing.
Nashua Police Department officials say based on their initial investigation, clothing description and body condition, they believe it to be 16-year-old Jacob Goulet, of Nashua.
A Massachusetts State Police helicopter discovered a body in the Merrimack River, in Tyngsboro, Sunday morning. Search teams recovered the body from the river later Sunday.
Goulet's parents had reported him missing Saturday, saying they hadn't seen him since the night before. Police had received a citizen report Friday night about some personal items found near an open storm drain. Authorities believe he fell down the drain during heavy rain.
Police say a positive identification of the body is pending.
