MATHEWS, Va. (AP) -- Police looking into the death of college student Taylor Behl say they have identified and located a pond shown in two photographs that are part of their investigation.

The 17-year-old freshman from Vienna disappeared from Virginia Commonwealth University on Labor Day and her body was found a month later in a remote area of Mathews County.

The task force investigating her death asked the public last week for help in identifying pond -- surrounded by trees -- shown in two photographs.

Sergeant D.S. Carr with the Virginia State Police said in an e-mail to reporters Monday that the pond has been identified located in an area adjacent to Mathews County , but he cannot say anything else about it because of a judge's gag order in the case.

Other agencies on the task force include the state attorney general's office, the FBI, and the Richmond and VCU police departments.
