CLEARLAKE – On Friday police found the body of a Clearlake woman who had been reported missing last week.

Clearlake Police Chief Allan McClain reported that Suzanne Sears, 49, was found deceased in a vacant residence near her home, located east of Highway 53.

The Lake County Sheriff's Office had forwarded a missing person's report on Sears to Clearlake Police on Oct. 10, McClain said.

Sears had reportedly walked away from her home three days before being reported missing, and was last seen in the Davis and Lenore Avenue areas, police reported.

When flyers and press releases generated no leads, McClain said volunteers and Clearlake Police investigators organized a search in the areas where she was last seen, which consisted of rural foothill and grasslands surrounding her residence.

The search led to the discovery of her body in the vacant residence, McClain said.

He said Sears' body showed no signs of visible injury, and investigators don't suspect foul play.

However, McClain said the investigation is ongoing pending the results of an autopsy.
