KELSO, Wash. (AP) - Officials on Monday were trying to identify a woman's body found in the Columbia River between Kelso and Kalama.

The Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office said a dive team recovered the body Sunday after it was discovered by a fisherman.

Sgt. Joe Reiss said there are no reports of missing women or drownings in the area. He said she had apparently been in the water a short time.

The white woman appeared to be in her 50s, about 5 foot 3 and 150 pounds. She wore a purple blouse and cut-off jeans, a gold necklace and hoop earrings.
