A body has been discovered in a wooded area in the Shenstone, N.B. area.

At around 11 a.m. on November 6, 2010, a call was made to police by people who discovered the body while they were travelling in the woods. Police are currently on the scene. A positive identification of the body has not been made.

Further news releases will be issued as more information becomes available.

Update: 5.41 pm EST

New Brunswick RCMP would not say Saturday whether the body had been identified as Sabrina Patterson, a 25-year-old mother of two from Shenstone who has been missing for more than a week.

Fred Prosser, the father of her children, was also reported missing Monday, but he was located Thursday by RCMP.

The 31-year-old was charged in Moncton provincial court on Friday with assaulting Patterson and stealing her cellphone on Oct. 9.

He was also charged with breaching a court order to stay away from her stemming from a previous assault charge.

None of the charges was related to her disappearance.

Prosser and Patterson had an on-again, off-again relationship dating back seven years and have a four-year-old boy and a one-year-old girl.

CBC is reporting the body was found near Prosser’s house in Shenstone, N.B.

Patterson’s family and friends were planning a search on Saturday in the area along the shores of the Petitcodiac River.

Police said the scene has been sealed off and that work is being done to make a positive identification of the body.
