Pensacola Police Chief Chip Simmons says people on a wave runner spotted the body of 25-year-old Samira Watkins' about 3:00 p.m. and called the Escambia County Sheriff's Office.

Watkins disappeared Thursday night after leaving her 5-year-old son with a relative. Her family says she went to see the father of her unborn child but never returned home.
