- BSO’s aerial unit located Scibica’s grey 2024 Honda Ridgeline on Sunday in the Cypress Creek Canal near the 900 block of Northeast 63rd Court, and divers recovered his body inside the truck.
- Scibica, 35, was last seen leaving Cheers Restaurant & Bar around 4 a.m. Friday, and he did not show up for his 6 a.m. classes at Level Up Boxing and Fitness.
- Investigators say the case remains active, and they are speaking with people who were with him before he left the bar; authorities have not released a cause of death.
- Residents who watched the recovery questioned how the pickup ended up in the canal and said he appeared to have been found on the passenger side.
