On Dec. 21, Rosa’s car was found abandoned in Wekiwa Springs State Park in Orange County.

In early January, the sheriff’s office received a video taken by hikers that appears to show Miranda-Rosa wading in the water at the park on Dec. 18.

Investigators said they do not suspect foul play.

Cecilia de Leon, Miranda-Rosa’s cousin, told Channel 9 that leisurely trips to the state park were nothing unusual for her cousin.

“We call her the swimming fish of the family,” said de Leon. “It was very normal for her. What was not normal for her was not to have communication.”

Volunteers and Miranda-Rosa’s family spent Sunday putting up posters throughout Orange County.

“We want to do whatever we can to help this family because we know the pain. We know when it feels like nobody’s in your corner,” Gonzalez said.
