Nearly one week after a Florida mother was reported missing, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office said they found remains that match the woman's description hundreds of miles away in Alabama.

While executing a search warrant Saturday evening, the sheriff's office discovered the body of whom they believe is Cassie Carli in a shallow grave inside of a barn in Springville, Alabama, the St. Clair County Coroner tells 10 Tampa Bay. The remains were further identified as Carli by a tattoo, Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson said.

"It's not the ending that we wanted, obviously, but we're hoping to provide a little closure for the family," Johnson said in a Sunday news conference.
