Texas authorities said Friday that a body found decomposing in a field earlier this week is that of missing 14-year-old Adriana Coronado, ending the search that started when police found her father dead from a gunshot wound in a rural area.

Houston police spokeswoman Jodi Silva said Adriana’s body was found in west Houston on Wednesday afternoon. The body was lying in an open field a few feet from the road. Adriana was identified through fingerprint verification by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.
