Bartlesville police located the body Tuesday morning of a 15 year-old boy who had been reported missing.  According to Captain Jay Hastings, officers found Drake Yancey dead in a wooded area northeast of Bartlesville High School at 7:20. 

Yancey's grandmother reported him missing early Saturday morning and says he hadn't returned home from school on Friday. 

Officers were able to check video at the High school on Monday and determined Drake had walked to a wooded area east of the high school. Officers began searching this area at day break Tuesday morning and made the discovery.

Hastings says at this time there appears to be no foul play involved and investigators are working the case as a Death Investigation. The State Medical Examiner's Office was notified and will be part of the investigative process.
