BODY RECOVERED FROM POTOMAC RIVER IDENTIFIED

A body recovered last week from the Potomac River has been identified as 81-year-old Frostburg resident Patricia Lee Leitzen. She was found in Little Orleans, near the Fifteen Mile boat ramp. She had been at the center of a 2022 investigation by the C3I Unit, after allegedly embezzling money from the Flintstone Volunteer Department Ladies Auxiliary in her position as treasurer-a position she held for 35 years. She pleaded guilty to the crime, and was scheduled to reappear in Allegany County District Court on November 4th at 1 p.m.
