HARRISONBURG, Va. (AP) -

Virginia State Police say a body found in Bath County has been identified as a missing James Madison University professor.

State Police spokeswoman Deborah Cox says the Roanoke County medical examiner's office identified the body as 62-year-old Harriet C. Cobb. Foul play isn't suspected.

Relatives last saw Cobb on March 9 in Rockingham and she was reported missing the following day. Cobb's car was found March 11 in the Mountain Grove area. Her body was found last Friday nearby.
