RALEIGH -- Raleigh police say the body found behind a day care center is a Johnston County woman who was reported missing last week.

Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue said police have identified the body as Kelli Woolard. There were no signs of foul play, he said in a news release.

Woolard, 31, of Clayton, was seen early on July 12 by her father, whom she was visiting for his birthday, said Cliff Frazier, 28, Woolard's brother.

Woolard's husband, Clint, reported her missing July 14 when she never returned home from her Saturday trip.

On Friday, officers received a call about an abandoned vehicle at the Growing Child day-care center, at 321 Spring Forest Road in Raleigh. The silver 2007 Jeep Liberty in the parking lot, with the license place HAPPIRN (Happy Nurse), was quickly identified as the vehicle Woolard had been driving when she disappeared.

Frazier said authorities told the family that Kelli Woolard's car keys had been found with the remains.
