The search for a missing Springfield woman came to a tragic end Tuesday after her body was discovered in a field on the city's north side.

The Sangamon County Coroner Jim Allmon confirmed the body found was that of Georgia A Holder, 51. It's unclear how long she had been in the field in the 3200 block of Ridgely Road. The location is a couple of miles away from where she was last seen in the area of North Dirksen Parkway and Ridge Avenue on Feb. 8.

An autopsy done Wednesday showed no evidence of injury or trauma, Allmon said. The official cause of death is pending additional studies.

The death remains under investigation by the Sangamon County Coroner and the Springfield Police.
