Body Of College Student Found In Idaho

Sierra Bush, also known by friends as Simon, went missing a month ago.

The Boise County Coroner's Office has identified the body of an 18-year old student on Saturday, a month after they went missing.

Sierra Bush, also known by friends as Simon, was last seen at their home on September 24.

Bush's body was found south of Idaho City, but authorities currently do not have any suspects or cause of death.

“Sierra’s disappearance has been suspicious from the beginning and this is a tragic discovery for everyone who knows her,” said Boise Police Sgt. Justin Kendall in a statement.

“Every missing person’s case is initially investigated as being suspicious and Sierra was not the type to disappear without telling anyone. For weeks, our detectives have been following up on leads and our investigation is ongoing.”

It is not definitively clear if Bush was transgender or gender-fluid, though they may have identified as male. Police and family, however, gendered Bush as female.

"I know that she would never run away and she didn't have a need to or drive to," longtime friend Samantha McGraw told KTVB.

"It's been heartbreaking not knowing and it's even more heartbreaking now with us knowing where she is. And it's been very hard."

A family statement called Bush "a happy and cheerful young lady."

"When her mother last spoke to her Sierra was happy and in good spirits, there was not the slightest sign of any trouble whatsoever," they added. "Sierra was very talented individual and had so much to offer the world in her future years."

The Boise State University Gender Equity Center released a statement.
