Tragically, a missing Sudbury woman who has been the subject of intense searching for the past six and a half weeks has been located deceased.
In a news release this afternoon, Greater Sudbury Police said an OPP cadaver dog located the body of Parisa, 39, in Junction Creek in the area of the Junction Creek Trail at Kelly Lake Road on May 21 just after 2:05 p.m.
“A postmortem was conducted on May 23, 2025 through the Coroner’s Office to assist in confirming the identity of the individual and the cause of death,” GSPS said this afternoon in a news release. “Through the postmortem it has been confirmed that the deceased person is 39-year-old Parisa, who was last seen around 10:30 a.m. on April 7, 2025, on Corsi Hill. At this time, there is no suspicion of criminality or foul play.”
Police have not released a full name for the woman. Ground and water search efforts over the past month and a half have focussed on the Junction Creek area between Kelly Lake Road and Martindale Road.
Residents in the area of Corsi Hill, where Parisa was last seen, were asked to check their outbuildings for her, but the effort turned up nothing.
“Our deepest condolences go out to Parisa’s family and friends,” GSPS said in a news release. “We ask that you respect their privacy during this very emotional time.”
GSPS and OPP collaborated in the search with the assistance of North Shore Search and Rescue. Weekly ground, water and aerial searches were conducted based on the area where Parisa had last been seen.
“Unfortunately, due to environmental factors at the time of her disappearance, Parisa was not located during the initial search efforts,” police said, explaining that melting snow, runoff, and cold deep water that was fast-moving hampered efforts. “The change in spring conditions assisted in her being discovered.”
GSPS thanked those who assisted with the search, as well as OPP and North Shore Search and Rescue.
