“This vehicle has a loose association with the Colorado situation,” Keaveny said. “We're doing our due diligence to follow up on it.”

Sgt. Kuffer Kaltenborn said the vehicle was reported to police shortly after 8:30 a.m.

“We don't know why (the car) is here,” Kaltenborn said.

Before police confirmed the car was linked to the Ridgeway case, Kaltenborn said the car may be linked to a "kidnapping/murder" case in Colorado. As of Thursday morning, the Ridgeway case has not been declared a murder investigation by authorities in Colorado.

Portsmouth police cordoned off a parking lot off Constitution Avenue on the connector road to the Walmart plaza on Lafayette Road.

Road Remains Closed After Body Found, Ridgeway Investigation Continues
October 11, 2012 11:17 AM

 ::snipping2::

There will be a heavy police presence at the site of the discovery during the day Thursday, and West 82nd Avenue remains closed indefinitely by Pattridge Park open space, Westminster police spokesman Trevor Materasso said.

The location is in the Arvada city limits and is about seven miles from Ridgeway’s home in Westminster.

The body was apparently found right off the road near to a drainpipe. On Thursday morning Copter4 video showed a blue tarp covering the pipe.

The search for Ridgeway continues around her home on Thursday, Materasso said.

Police: Search continues for missing Colorado girl after body found in field
Published Thursday, October 11, 2012

Colorado police looking for a 10-year-old girl who disappeared on her walk to school have found a body in a park, but are not saying whether it is linked to the case and noted Thursday that officers are still searching for her.

The discovery of the body is the latest turn in the disappearance of Jessica Ridgeway that has seen police look for clues in a reported sighting in a car with Colorado plates in Maine and a Wyoming abduction. The FBI said Thursday that abduction was unrelated.

FBI office searching for Jessica Ridgeway seeks suspect in Wyoming abduction, child-sex assault
Thu., Oct. 11 2012 at 11:50 AM

At this writing, we haven't received an update about the search for Jessica Ridgeway, a Westminster ten year old who's been missing since Friday, or the identity of a body found in Arvada yesterday. Moments ago, however, the local FBI office, which is assisting in the Ridgeway investigation, sent out an alert on another abduction of a young girl -- an eleven year old from Cody, Wyoming, who was kidnapped and sexually assaulted before being released on Monday. Is there a connection? Here are the details.

At 4:33 p.m. on Monday, according to a Cody Police Department news release, officers received a report from another eleven year old that she and friends had been approached by a man 45 minutes earlier at the city's Park County Complex, at 1501 Stampede Avenue. The man had claimed he needed help finding a missing black Labrador puppy and asked the girls if they could help him. At that point, one of the girls agreed and climbed into the passenger side of the vehicle -- a white SUV with two seats up front and a mattress in the back that suggested he had been living out of it. The SUV drove away with the girl and hadn't returned.

Posted:   10/11/2012 09:52:10 AM MDT

Broomfield police will step up extra patrols near all of Broomfield's elementary and middle schools until a suspect in Jessica Ridgeway's disappearance is identified.

Acknowledging that the media has helicopter footage that confirms it, Westminster police have just also confirmed that the body they have discovered in Arvada is “not intact.”

There is still no confirmation about whether or not this is Ridgeway’s body.
