The search for a missing Florida woman came to a tragic end when a body was found along the Caloosahatchee River on Monday, authorities reported.\n

The 21-year-old woman, Arielle Valdes from North Fort Myers, had been missing since Wednesday when she vanished during a jog in her neighborhood, leading to a community-wide effort that involved searches by land, air, and water. Marine vessels, aviation units, multiple drones, K9s, the Forensics Division with an ANDE rapid DNA device, and the Major Crimes Unit were all involved in the search.\n

The Lee County Sheriff\u2019s Office said there was no initial suggestion of foul play. \u201cOur hearts remain with Arielle\u2019s family and loved ones as they navigate the coming days during this time of grief,\u201d the Sheriff\u2019s office stated, adding that the Major Crimes Unit will remain in coordination with the District 21 Medical Examiner\u2019s Office throughout the ongoing investigation.\n
