Crews could be seen digging outside of the property.
Brown, 43, was last seen by a friend and business associate around 2 p.m. on January 3.
An investigation into Brown's whereabouts began after she never arrived to pick up her 8-year-old son from the bus stop the next day.
"She was a devoted mother of an 8-year-old boy, and by all accounts, she would have never left him unattended or unsupervised," said Steele.
Officers found her car parked outside of her home on Stratford Court in Royersford. Her keys, wallet, purse and work cellphone were found inside.
Steele did not say how Brown died or if any arrests were made.
