Deputies have identified the 29-year-old woman whose body was found floating in the Intracoastal Waterway Monday in St. Johns County.

St. Johns County Sheriff's Office said Kenya Rose Che bii of St. Augustine was walking around the downtown area of St. Augustine Monday at 5:35 a.m, according to a Wednesday news release.

There were no injuries or indications of foul play, but deputies are still working to determine how Che bii drowned, according to the release. Deputies are looking into her background, where she was on Monday and anyone she may have been in contact with.

Che bii was last seen wearing a pink dress, white v-neck styled t-shirt and a pair of white-flowered sandals.  

The areas between downtown St. Augustine and north of the Riverview Club or St. Augustine Shores area are of specific interest to police. They may be possible areas that Che bii traveled on Monday, the release said.

Investigators are asking anyone with any information or who may have been in the area, along with any business owners who may have captured video of Che bii to contact Detective James Jackson at 904-824-8304 or email at jpjackson@sjso.org.
