PULASKI COUNTY, Mo. - A Pulaski County woman who had been missing for almost two weeks was found dead in the Gasconade River on Wednesday.

Divers with the Missouri Water Patrol found 54 year old Deborah Cirrincione inside the blue Jeep Wrangler she was last seen driving.

It was at the bottom of a deep hole in the Gasconade River 200 yards upstream from the Riddle Bridge Access off of Highway Y, north of St. Robert.

Searcher had been looking for Cirrincione for nearly two weeks.

"To the volunteers who came out, thank you for you assistance," said Pulaski County Sheriff J.B. King. "I know the family is deeply greatful for the assistance and so are we."

"We put a lot of resources into it, we tried and just like the volunteers, we're disappointed with the ending, but at the same time the family does have some closure here. It' not a good closure, but at least they do know now," Sheriff King added.

Police say Cirrincione suffered from brain cancer and had a history of seizures, but it is not clear whether her medical condition caused her to drive into the water.
