WARE PLACE, S.C. -- The Greenville County Coroner's Office said the body of a missing Williamston girl was found in the southern part of the county on Friday night.

Scott Ramsey, of the coroner's office, said that the body was found at about 6 p.m. outside an abandoned house near the intersection of Long Cane Road and Highway 418, just east of Ware Place.

Ramsey said that the body was positively identified as 17-year-old A'Sha Rucker.

Williamston police have been looking for Rucker since Wednesday, when she did not show up at Palmetto High School.

Greenville County sheriff's Deputy Matthew Armstrong said initial reports from investigators indicated that there were no outright visible signs of trauma on Rucker's body.

The Greenville County Sheriff's Office said it considers the death to be suspicious in nature due to the location of the body as it relates to her last known whereabouts.

The Greenville County Coroner’s office conducted an autopsy Saturday that was ruled incomplete. They are now awaiting toxicology test results.

Authorities said their investigation is ongoing and details will be provided as they become available.

Anyone with information pertaining to the case is asked to call the Greenville County Sheriff's Office, or Crime Stoppers at 23-CRIME.
