MANISTIQUE — The body of a missing woman from Gulliver has been located, according to the Michigan State Police.

Kristen Terrian, 39, was last seen around 5:30 a.m. on Aug. 2 at Michibay Beach near Mansitique Township Park. A search of the area near the beach by MSP canines and the Marine Services Team proved unsuccessful.

Troopers and detectives with the Michigan State Police Manistique Outpost and Gladstone Post continued investigating Terrain as a missing person. On Friday, Aug. 9, an unidentified body was discovered in Lake Michigan on the Western Shore of Beaver Island. A postmortem examination was conducted on Aug. 12.

Thursday, dental records were used to positively identify the body as Kristen Terrian. The autopsy has not yet been completed and is pending further laboratory studies. Her family has been notified by MSP detectives.

“This is not the outcome any of us wanted,” said F/Lt Mike Shaw, MSP Public Information Officer. “We offer our condolences to Kristen’s family and our community.”

Detectives are still continuing to investigate this case and are asking that anyone with information contact the Post.
