WALKER, Mich. (WOOD) — The search for missing Wyoming mother Ana Marie Carrillo is over.
Wyoming police said Thursday afternoon they found Carrillo’s body in an undisclosed location, although not in the area they were searching in the past 24 hours. Investigators searched a wooded area near Maynard Avenue and Veterans Memorial Drive in Millennium Park early Thursday morning. Wednesday, the search focused on the Johnson Park area.
Capt. Kim Koster also told 24 Hour News 8 that a woman’s body found near Plaster Creek was also not Carrillo.
Carrillo relatives in court for Andrew Hudson’s preliminary hearing hugged one another upon hearing the developments. The announcement came moments after Hudson, who is charged with Carrillo’s murder, waived the rest of his hearing, sending the case to circuit court.

“For us it brings closure to the family, certainly. And this is something we committed to from the very beginning, to do whatever we can do to bring Ana’s body home,” said Wyoming Police Chief James Carmody.
Carrillo had been missing since Sept. 3. Investigators believe her ex-boyfriend Andrew Hudson lured her to his home under the pretense of picking up her children, even though they were not there. Investigators have not said how they believe Carrillo died.
