Arizona police found the body of Jessica Ronhock in a white Jeep Cherokee about 200 yards below a scenic overlook about 25 miles south of Flagstaff on Saturday.

A body found in an SUV that appears to have tumbled off a cliff in Arizona is a missing New York college student, police say.

Police on Saturday found the body of Jessica Ronhock, 21, inside a white Jeep Cherokee that had crashed through a guard rail near a scenic overlook about 25 miles south of Flagstaff, local station KSAZ reported.

The car was found about 200 yards below the overlook.

Department of Public Safety Sgt. Stephen Robson told a local ABC station the crash was more than two months old, and that Ronhock's body was the only one in the car.

Ronhock, of Mashpee, Massachusetts, vanished from Elmira College, in Upstate New York, on Jan. 10 after leaving a note for her roommate saying she had a family emergency.

Her parents said there was no emergency and that their daughter never came home.

In the first days after her disappearance, credit card records showed Ronhock had apparently travelled though Florida, Texas and Arizona.

On Jan. 15, ATM security footage showed her alone in her white Jeep withdrawing cash from an ATM in Baytown, Tex.

A week later, her family received a private journal postmarked from Williams, Arizona, just west of Flagstaff and some 60 miles from the Grand Canyon.

Elmira police said the journal contained entries that were "of a disheartening nature."

The body was brought to the Coconino Medical Examiner, who was to make the final identification, according to local reports.
