Description
A body was found Friday in the Myakka River during a search for a person who went missing more than a week ago.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission first responded around 11:10 a.m. on Aug. 7 to reports that a boat crashed into a personal watercraft on the river just north of Border Road in Venice.
Investigators say three people on board a "jon boat" crashed into someone on a personal watercraft. While the three people on the boat were uninjured, the personal watercraft driver was still missing.
The FWC and the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office continued the search for the missing person on Friday, Aug. 16, when the body was found.
Authorities are still working to confirm the identity of the body as the investigation continues.
