The body was recovered around 7 a.m. about two miles south of the Highway 40 bridge near Serenity Sands Camp Ground where she was last reported to have been seen.  McCoy was last seen around 1:30 p.m. Sunday when she and another child got caught in a strong current. The other child was rescued by a witness, but adults could not get to McCoy before she was swept away.

A search on Sunday was suspended around 10:30 p.m. due to rough water conditions. It resumed around sunrise Monday.

The body has been taken to the Tangipahoa Parish Coroner's Office for positive identification.
