UPDATE: Police say the search for a missing 10-year-old girl will continue after a body was found in a suburban Denver park seven miles from where the fifth-grader disappeared nearly a week ago.

Westminster police spokesman Trevor Materasso on Thursday provided no information about a body found in a park about seven miles from Jessica's home. The discovery was made late Wednesday afternoon.

Jessica's mother last saw her walking to school Friday. Police say the girl was abducted and never made it to school, setting off a frantic search by authorities and residents.

DENVER (AP) -- Police say a body has been found near an open space area in the suburb of Arvada.

Westminster police spokesman Trevor Materasso said Wednesday night they are unable to make any connection to the disappearance of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway, whose mother last saw her leaving for school Friday.

Materasso didn't release details on the body, including the gender or approximate age.

The FBI, which has been assisting with the investigation, said no other details will be discussed at this time.

Police will hold another news conference tomorrow morning.
