Officers believe human remains found in a swampy area near Alachua County belong to a woman who was presumed dead after she went missing in January.
An Alachua County Sheriff's Office dive team found human bones during a search operation on Tuesday.
They believe they belong to 23-year-old Hannah Brim, who went missing on Jan. 19.
Family said Brim was 5 months pregnant.
Her ex-boyfriend Nelson Armas was indicted for murder in her death earlier this month.

After the indictment, investigators got new information about where her body might be.
During the search, dive team members found several human bones in a swampy area near railroad tracks approximately 2.5 miles northwest of Orange Heights.
Investigators have reason to believe the bones are Brim's but officials are working to confirm who they belong to.
Deputies said once word reached the command post that Brim's remains were found, the officers and searchers took time to offer prayer and thanks for the discovery.
