The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office is working to identify a woman, whose body they found floating in the Intracoastal Waterway in the southern part of the county Monday morning.
Deputies say before 8:30 AM Monday morning, they received a report that someone was floating near The Riverview Club near St. Augustine Shores.
We’re told the St. Johns County Major Crimes detectives are in the early stages of figuring out who the person is and the circumstances for how they got there.
At this time, deputies say they don’t have any recent reports of suspicious circumstances or missing persons, so they’re asking anyone with information to reach out.
The woman is described as a black woman in her late teens to late 20’s. She’s described as being 5’7’’ tall and weighing around 140 pounds. Deputies say she also has a rose tattoo on her upper right thigh.
