I was recalling another missing person found in the water nearly a month after investigators used sonar and divers to search the same water without success.
It was ASU student, Jack Culolias - 19.
In a very similar situation a couple years back, a Tempe cop explained to us that a body will oftentimes sink to the bottom of a body of water, and remain there until an amount of gases form inside the body, eventually pushing the body to the surface, where it will remain.
Some forensics literature related to human bodies in water confirms this, and the water temperature also appears to be a factor in the time it takes for a body to surface.
