Body of Missing Florida Teen Found in Nature Preserve
The body of missing Florida teenager Allister Nasr has been discovered deep within Weedon Island Preserve, according to police reports. The 17 year old had been missing since 1 March, when he was last seen leaving his home on a bicycle. His disappearance led to an extensive search effort that ended when authorities located his remains in the preserve on Friday.
On Monday, the Pinellas County medical examiner confirmed the body belonged to Allister. Volunteers assisting in the search had focused on the preserve due to evidence indicating his bicycle had been found in the area and a video recording showing him entering the gate on the day of his disappearance.
The Nasr family released a statement expressing their profound grief and thanking the community, friends, and Allister’s school for their support. They described him as a kind and gentle soul who never raised his voice, a devoted son, brother, and grandson who brought warmth to all who knew him.
