Missing Maine Woman’s Body Found In Florida

Authorities say the remains of a missing woman from Alfred, Maine have been found in Florida. 

Pasco County Sheriff's Office spokesman Eddie Daniels Jr. said Saturday that Judith Therianos' remains were discovered Thursday night in a wooded area near a highway in New Port Richey.

A medical examiner confirmed Therianos' identity, but Daniels says the cause and date of her death have not yet been determined.

Theorianos, 52, had not been seen since March 14. Daniels says she left Maine with a friend in February to visit the Tampa Bay area, and she eventually arrived in the New Port Richey area to see another friend.

Therianos had travelled to Tampa to spend time with a friend diagnosed with cancer. Friends last had phone contact on March 11. Therianos’ sister, Jennifer Scammon of Saco, notified Maine State Police on March 19 that her sister was missing.

Therianos graduated from Massabesic High School in 1981.
