Investigation Continues: Body Found In Escambia Bay
March 18, 2012
TheĀ investigation is continuing today after a body was found Saturday morning in Escambia Bay.
Boaters found the floating north of the I-10 bridge and south of the train trestle on the Santa Rosa County side of the bay. Investigators say it appears the body had been in the bay for a “lengthy” period of time.
The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched about 11:30 a.m. to the Archie Glover Boat Ramp located off of Avalon Boulevard at I-10 in reference to boaters discovering a dead body floating in Escambia Bay.
The boaters that discovered the body waited at that location so that deputies would know where to respond to find the body. Deputies and rescue personnel went to the location of the discovery with the assistance of Avalon Fire Department Resuce boats and found a human body.
No further information has been released.
