Body Found in Car in Sunrise Canal

MIAMI - Sunrise police detectives are currently investigating a grim discovery made on Tuesday afternoon when a body was found inside a car retrieved from a canal. The incident occurred near a shopping center on the 8300 block of West Oakland Boulevard, where a large crane was seen extracting a black Honda Civic from the water. Authorities quickly covered the vehicle with a tent, indicating the seriousness of the situation. The car is believed to belong to 41-year-old Marimar Roman Cora, who had been reported missing. A man identifying himself as Roman Cora's brother confirmed to CBS News Miami that the vehicle matched the description of the one his sister was driving when she disappeared last Saturday. This connection has raised concerns among family and friends as they await further information from law enforcement. Witnesses at the scene reported seeing the recovery operation unfold, with one individual stating, "Definitely bodies got pulled out." The police have confirmed that only one body was found inside the vehicle, but they have not yet established a definitive link between the car and Roman Cora's disappearance. As the investigation continues, authorities are working to gather more details and confirm the identity of the deceased. The community remains on edge as they seek answers regarding the circumstances surrounding Roman Cora's disappearance and the discovery of the body in the canal.
