Corps found in an area where an American tourist has disappeared in Costa Rica

The Costa Rican authorities discovered a body near the area where Carla Stefaniak, an American citizen, disappeared last week. The body, which has not yet been identified, was partially buried and covered with plastic near the city of San Jose, said a local official at CBS News.

Authorities are working with Stefaniak's family members to identify the body, said Marisel Rodriguez, spokeswoman for the Costa Rica's Criminal Investigation Bureau.

Stefaniak, a 36-year-old woman from Hallandale Beach, Florida, missed her flight back last Wednesday and her family has been looking for her since that day. Her sister-in-law, April Burton, said that she had heard from Stefaniak around 8 pm. last Tuesday. She said that it was raining and that the power was off.

The last message that Burton sent him was: "It's pretty blurry here." Later in the night, all communications ceased.
