The Martin County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) confirmed on May 27 that they’ve ended their search in the Hungryland Wildlife and Environmental Area after locating partial remains of missing Air Force veteran and nurse, Tricia Todd.
After confessing to Todd’s killing and body disposal, her ex-husband, 30-year-old Steven Williams, accepted a plea deal of 35 years behind bars—and agreed to lead authorities to where he hid her remains.

In a statement, the MCSO said that Williams did direct detectives to the burial site, but “following two full days of a painstaking search, only partial remains were located…because those remains were containerized in a fluid substance suspected to be some form of acid.”
The sheriff’s office said the local fire department’s hazmat team was called in, who aided in the recovery of the remains—as well as both students and forensic anthropologists of the Florida Gulf Coast University.
After the two full days of searching, the majority of Tricia’s body is still unaccounted for.
The statement said that MCSO’s recovery teams ended the search after locating newer remains and cleared the crime scene, re-opening the park to the public.

On June 24, Williams will be sentenced by a judge—who came clean of his crime on May 24 after previously passing a polygraph test and clearing several lengthy and detailed interviews early in the investigation, according to a press conference held by Martin County Sheriff William Snyder. He also faces a child neglect charge.
