Nova Scotia RCMP say they believe they recovered the body of a youth nearly 100 kilometres away from where she went missing in floodwaters during the July 22nd storm.

Police say the medical examiner still needs to positively identify the remains that were found by a civilian who was out for a walk Tuesday along the shoreline in Advocate Harbour on the Bay of Fundy.

The area is about 75 kilometres northwest of a hayfield in West Hants where the youth and three other people went missing after two vehicles were swept off the road.

Last week, searchers recovered the bodies of two six-year-old children and a 52-year-old man who was travelling with the youth.
