Wadas-Kelly’s body was found on the riverbank about 4:33 p.m., according to the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office.
Wadas-Kelly is believed to have been canoeing with her husband, 28-year-old Levi Kelly, also of Bucksport.

The circumstances of Wadas-Kelly’s death are under investigation, and an active air, ground and water search is underway to attempt to locate Kelly.
Wadas-Kelly was a University of Maine senior majoring in marine sciences who had transferred to the school this semester, the university said Wednesday morning.
