Witnesses said Mosley was at Crystal Beach Monday afternoon watching her son play at the edge of the shoreline, when a wave knocked the child over, and he began to lose his footing, KTRK reported.

Mosley ran in to grab her son, and was handing him to a family member and when they turned around, she was gone, KPRC reported.

U.S. Coast Guard officials searched through the night for Mosley, hoping to find her alive and well.

A tattoo investigators found on the body of the woman indicates that the woman is Mosley, but officials said they will need to confirm her identity through the medical examiner’s office.
