LAME DEER- A body was found Friday on the Northern Cheyenne reservation near Lame Deer.
Sandra Barker, an FBI spokeswoman, said Saturday that the body has not been identified and an autopsy will be conducted to determine cause of death.
On Thursday, authorities released a missing person advisory for Henny Scott, a 14-year-old Busby girl believed to be headed toward Hardin and injured. The advisory was later canceled without finding Scott.
