An unidentified body was recovered off the coast of Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., today near the area where missing diver Rebecca Weiss is believed to have disappeared.

The gender of the body has not yet been released by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office, whose homicide detectives were on the scene today after they received a call that someone had found a body.

Weiss, 50, was free diving in a cove near Rancho Palos Verdes on Aug. 11, her husband, Alan Weiss, told police. The experienced diver had gone alone, he said.
