Fast moving water has hampered emergency crews in their retrieval of the body, which slipped away from them as they were pulling it in.
They are returning to the area at 8 o'clock this morning to search for the body. An underwater camera is part of the equipment they're using to try and find the body. (See more search scene photos below).
Law enforcement confirms it is a female.
Authorities tell KARK 4 News there were no missing person cases in the area. Because of that, foul play has not been ruled out.
Crews were alerted to the body after a passerby called 911 Wednesday evening.
The above corrects a previous version of the story.
