The body of a Golden Gates Estates man missing for 10 days has likely been found, officials said Sunday.
Eduardo Ramirez, 64, was last seen Aug. 29, with the vehicle he was driving found in a remote area off Beck Boulevard in East Naples.
Collier County Sheriff’s Office said the body was found Saturday, capping an “exhaustive search that spanned 10 days and included multiple agencies as well as private citizens.” The sheriff’s office said the body was “tentatively identified.”
Officers with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission had searched the area south of the 97 Mile Marker in the Picayune Strand when they found him Saturday.

“We extend our condolences to his family, and we thank everyone who participated in the search,” the post read.
