A decomposed body was found today in the Castaic area near Interstate 5, and investigators are trying to determine whether it is that of a Newhall woman who has been missing for two weeks, authorities said.
The woman, believed to be white and about 18 years old, was found shortly after 1 p.m. behind a strip mall being built by where the 5 and 126 freeways connect, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Brigett Kennemore, 18, a Valencia High School student, was last seen in the area Oct. 26 after she got off a bus.
But a department spokeswoman said investigators have not yet identified the body. "It may or may not be her," said Deputy Lilian Peck. "It could be somebody else."

Why is the media putting out the name of a girl, when they have not even identified the body yet? For all they know the high school student is safe, and her family could be grieving for no apparent reason!
