Police found a body on Thursday feared to be that of US actress Misty Upham, who appeared in Django Unchained and 2013's August: Osage County, officials said.
The body was found at the bottom of an embankment in a Seattle suburb by a family member searching for the 32-year-old actress, whose movie credits also include 2008's Frozen River.
Upham had been reported missing since 6 October, according to industry journal Variety.
"The body was recovered by a family member of Misty Upham's family who was in the area searching for her," said a statement by the Auburn Police Department.
"A purse containing identification of Misty Upham was at the scene, however, at this time the medical examiner has not made a positive identification nor a determination of cause of death."
According to Variety, Upham's family reportedly told police that she had been suicidal a day before her disappearance. She had moved to Seattle to care for her father, who had had a stroke, it added.
Her father, Charles Upham, was cited as saying that his daughter had stopped taking medication for anxiety and bi-polar disorder.
In August: Osage County she played a housekeeper looking after a strong-willed matriarch (Meryl Streep), surrounded by bickering relatives in a moving portrait of a dysfunctional family.
She had an uncredited part in Quentin Tarantino's 2012 movie Django Unchained, according to her profile page on movie industry website IMDb
