A search of the park and surrounding area yielded no clues.
Then on Tuesday, the sheriff’s office received video taken by hikers that appears to show Rosa wading in the water at the park on Dec. 18.
Osceola Sheriff Marcos Lopez said that prompted deputies to return to the area with underwater cameras.

“She could’ve walked out of the water and went somewhere else, but we didn’t have this type of equipment and we’re going to utilize it today,” Lopez said.
Investigators said they do not suspect foul play.
