Missing Florida woman seen swimming in river in video, photos taken day of disappearance: police

A Florida sheriff’s department on Wednesday released video and two photos taken by hikers that it said showed a woman missing since last month swimming in a river in the central part of the state the day she disappeared.

The sheriff’s office said it plans to search four-and-a-half miles of the river around where she was seen in the video.

"The Sheriff has acquired a Zistos Portable Underwater Video Camera System to help search the area of the river where Paola was last seen. This equipment is a high-intensity camera system with lights," the department said on Facebook. "It has the capability to see into hard-to-reach areas that cannot be explored by standard scuba equipment."
