OCSO Investigators are trying to identify and make contact with the individual in a home surveillance video to see if he can provide any information that may help in the death investigation of Misty Medrano. The 30-year old Medrano was found deceased around 7 a.m. the morning of April 14th in the waters of Rocky Bayou Bay, near the area at the end of 11th Street in Niceville. Investigators want to find out if the man in the video driving the light-colored pick-up truck, who may have been fishing or kayacking in that area the evening before, saw or heard anything that could benefit the investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office at (850) 609-2000 or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at (850) 863-TIPS. Autopsy results on Medrano are still awaiting toxicology analysis.

License-free fishing June 1 coincides with Navarre Fishing Rodeo

Thursday, 30 May 2013 15:13 Last Updated on Friday, 31 May 2013 08:27 Written by Staff Reports

Fitting perfectly with the Navarre Fishing Rodeo, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will be allowing a saltwater license-free fishing day this Saturday, June 1.

A freshwater license-free fishing day will also be held on June 8.

License-free fishing days are a great opportunity for Navarre residents and visitors to cast a line into the water and get hooked on saltwater and freshwater fishing. Anglers are not required to have a saltwater recreational fishing license on June 1 or a freshwater recreational fishing license on June 8.

“We hope visitors and residents alike will be able to join in the excitement of Florida’s saltwater and freshwater fishing this year by participating in one of our license-free fishing days or attending an event surrounding the days,” said FWC Executive Director Nick Wiley. “This is an excellent opportunity to share the fun and togetherness of a fishing trip with the entire family or to introduce someone to a lifetime hobby of fishing.”
