The body found in the Genesee River has been identified as a woman missing out of Honeoye Falls — and her sister has been charged in connection with the murder.
Her name is Penny Busch. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said she was last seen at her home on October 6.
Deputies said it all started when they did a welfare check on Penny at her home on October 11. No one answered the door, and deputies were suspicious.
As deputies searched, they used K9s, help from fire departments, and drones. On October 14, they searched the Genesee River in Rush and found a body. The body was sent to the Monroe County Medical Examiner and then identified as Penny on October 18.
Deputies have arrested Penny’s sister, 53-year-old Jamie Busch, in connection with her murder. She’s been charged with second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence.
