Authorities have found the body of missing Florida college student Miya Marcano, 19, the Orange County, Florida, sheriff said in a news conference on Saturday, after she disappeared over a week ago.  

Sheriff John Mina said that the body was found in a wooded area near an apartment building, however, they are still waiting for an official identification to be made by the medical examiner.

Furthermore, Mina said Marcano’s parents have been notified just hours ago.

Authorities said the 19-year-old vanished on the same day a maintenance man improperly used a master key to enter her apartment. Her family reported her missing after she missed a flight home to South Florida on September 24, according to Associated Press inputs.

The cause of death has yet to be determined. “At this time, we cannot identify a cause of death, so I don’t’ want to speculate on that,” Mina said of Marcano’s death.

“Everyone wanted this outcome to be different,” Mina added, CNN reported.

The sheriff previously said Armando Caballero, the maintenance worker at the apartment complex where Marcano lived and worked, is considered the “prime suspect.” Caballero, 27, apparently killed himself; his body was found three days after Marcano was last seen.

Marcano had repeatedly “rebuffed” romantic advances by Caballero. Detectives spoke to Caballero after the Valencia College student was reported missing, but had no evidence to detain him at that time. They obtained a warrant for his arrest after learning he had entered her apartment before she disappeared. His body was then found inside a garage.

Cellphone records from Caballero led them to the apartment complex near where Marcano was found and showed he was there for about 20 minutes the night she was reported missing, Sheriff Mina said. At one point, Caballero also previously lived at that apartment complex.

“Nothing in the records indicate that he ever returned there before he killed himself,” the sheriff said, adding deputies are not looking for any other suspects.
