NICEVILLE — The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office is trying to find a possible witness in the death of a Fort Walton Beach woman whose body was found floating in Rocky Bayou in April.
Investigators have video surveillance of a light-colored pickup truck that was in the area where 30-year-old Misty Medrano’s body was found by a passer-by at the end of 11th Street in Niceville.

Medrano is believed to have been in the water for 12 to 24 hours before she was discovered.
Officials think the pickup’s driver was fishing or kayaking in the bayou late April 13 or early April 14.
Medrano’s body was found about 7 a.m. April 14. Officials do not believe foul play was involved.

Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Michele Nicholson said investigators still are waiting on Medrano’s toxicology report from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
“The main point is that we’re trying to conduct a thorough investigation on the death of Misty Medrano,” Nicholson. “We don’t know if people even have a clue we’re looking for them. We wanted to get the location out there and, hopefully, they may have heard something.
“We’re trying to determine what happened to her and how she ended up in the water. This person may have heard or seen something.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 609-2000 or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 863-TIPS.
