With disturbing rumours floating around on social media over the past 24 hours, Police Public Information Officer, Acting Inspector Rodney Inniss today (November 18) told Loop News:

"What is being reported is not true.

"We have not found a body in that area or any other area for that matter and certainly not a body pertaining to the subject who is missing still. Our investigation is very much still ongoing and there has not been any body recovered or found."

Therefore, he called for persons to stop spreading misinformation.

"Certainly spreading fake rumours will not help the cause and we're asking you to think about the family and the mother of the missing person, who those directly affect," the Acting Inspector stressed.

And he urged all persons, who may have genuine information that can assist the investigation in relation to the missing woman, to come forward and share their knowledge with the police instead.

Samara was last heard by her mother Samantha Bristol sometime between 6:45 pm and 8:30 pm on Tuesday, November 16, and has not been heard or seen since.

Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Samara can contact the District D police station at 1-246-419-1726/1729, Police Emergency 211 or any other Police Station.

Police were Thursday questioning a man in connection with the disappearance of Barbadian-American Samara Cameisha Kymel Bristol, 30, who is visiting from New York.

A vehicle owned by the person of interest has also been impounded as the search continued for the missing woman after bizarre developments over the last 24 hours in which a fire broke out at the house where she was staying at Airy Cot, St. Thomas.

Police also dismissed as “reckless and unfortunate misinformation” that a woman’s body had been found. They urged people to desist from setting out to deliberately create misleading information and stories.

NB waiting for mod to correct header! Went crazy before I finished it, just in case anyone was wondering

Judging by the video above, pretty strong fire. Was that to hide evidence, or just a coincidence?

What is this Airy Cot? On Google it is described as a 'lodging' but also says 'permanently closed'.

This vid of area makes it look quite remote.

This article indicates the house where she was staying, the house where the fire was, is the home where her step-father lives.

Police issued a missing person’s report on Wednesday evening for Samara, who was last heard by her mother on Tuesday between 6:45 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. after recently arriving in Barbados from the US.

Reading that snippet, IMO it's not clear whether it was Samara or her mother who had recently arrived in Barbados

Well I would tell the Inspector "fake rumors" might lead to something like this:

Police investigations into the disappearance of Samara Bristol have lead to the discovery of a body in the area of the Mangrove dump in St Thomas.

The discovery was made about 9:45 a.m. on Sunday.

Police said the identity of the body is yet to be ascertained.

The body is in an advance stage of decomposition, police said.

Police have cordoned off the immediate and extended scene and have commenced forensic examinations.

Would a body be in an 'advanced state of decomposition' after just under 4 days though?

A mangrove dump. Jeez.

In a tropical climate with animal activity I think it's possible.
