PINELLAS CO., Fla. — The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) said human remains were recovered from the waterways in the area of Interstate 275 and 4th Street North on Sunday.

HCSO said the remains have not been identified at this time and the body is in the possession of the Pinellas County Medical Examiner’s Office.

This is an active investigation, per the report.

The body was found over the weekend as HCSO's marine and dive teams were searching for Nahida Bristy's body near the Howard Frankland Bridge.
