ARVADA, Colo. — Arvada police say a body found in a construction site is that of

a missing 10-year-old girl.

Police say a construction worker found the body of a Vlassenko

that crime-scene tape was placed around a deep hole partially filled with water.

Authorities don't suspect foul play.

Police started looking for a, who was autistic, after her family reported

her missing Monday afternoon. She was wearing a radio transmission device to

help locate her, but police say they didn't get a signal. They speculate it

might have been underwater.
