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.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said there was no initial suggestion of foul play. “Our hearts remain with Arielle’s family and loved ones as they navigate the coming days during this time of grief,” the Sheriff’s office stated, adding that the Major Crimes Unit will remain in coordination with the District 21 Medical Examiner’s Office throughout the ongoing investigation.
“It’s with a heavy heart that we share the loss of our dear Arielle, whose vibrant personality and gentle soul brought so much light into the lives of those who knew her,” the grieving family of Valdes posted on Finding Arielle Valdes Facebook page.
