Mounties in Langley say the body of an 82-year-old woman has been found several months after she went missing.

Police said she was last seen that day in the suburb of Aldergrove.

Her empty grey Dodge Grand Caravan was found a few days later.

An RCMP statement says the woman's cause of death is not considered suspicious, and they offer condolences to her family and friends.
