Body found on queen's estate identified - Police

The body found on Queen Elizabeth II's estate in Sandringham last week was a 17-year-old Latvian immigrant who had been missing since August, police said Sunday.

Sandringham House, at the heart of the rural estate, is where the royal family traditionally gathers to celebrate Christmas. It's been the private home of four generations of British monarchs since 1862, and is one of two private residences used by the queen.

DNA tests helped detectives identified the woman as Alisa Dmitrijeva, Norfolk police said in a statement.

Police had been offering a £5000 reward for information leading to the missing teen.

Police have not said what caused her death, but said detectives are investigating activities that occurred around the site between the end of August and the end of September.
