The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that a body found in a car pulled from a retention pond near Palm Harbor Parkway was that of a woman who had earlier been reported missing.

Erica Bergeron, 49, went missing on April 20. She was last seen leaving the Palm Coast Lanes bowling alley. 

On Monday, April 24, FCSO deputies and dive teams pulled a rental Toyota Camry Bergeron was believed to have been driving from a pond near Palm Harbor Parkway and Cris Lane.

The Toyota had one occupant — a white, female, 49, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. 

The FCSO confirmed that the body was that of Bergeron on April 25. 

“Sheriff Staly and FCSO extend our deepest condolences to the Bergeron family,” the FCSO stated in a social media post.

Bergeron’s Toyota had been driving northeast on Palm Harbor Parkway, southeast of Cris Lane when it swerved off the road, hit a tree and veered into the retention pond, the FHP report said.
