January 1, 2010 By

The death of an Eau Claire County woman whose body was found in Adams County has been ruled a homicide.

43-year-old Theresa Still of Altoona was last seen Sunday evening, and was reported missing by her daughter on Monday. Her body was found Wednesday afternoon in a remote area of Adams County. Altoona Police Officer Scott Kelly would not elaborate on her injuries, but did say an autopsy determined the cause of death.

No one has been named a suspect, but Still’s live in boyfriend, Greg Gubernot (goober-not) is considered a person of interest. The couple’s home and vehicles have been searched. The investigation continues both in Altoona and in Adams County.
