Karen Carter was murdered in the same small village
Her body was discovered by a police dog in undergrowth less than five miles from Trémolot, where Karen was stabbed.
The 65-year-old Brit mum of four was subjected to a frenzied knife attack outside her home on April 29 in a crime is yet to be solved.
Her murder has sparked a range of theories - including that it was a professional ordered by someone with a grudge against her.
Florian, who was French, had been planning a night out with friends, when she disappeared.
Her body was found close to her Vauxhall Corsa.
An investigating source said on Wednesday: "The body of Floriane Roux was found on Monday, at 4pm.
"It was in a small shelter, hidden by tall grass and plants and not far from her vehicle, next to the Dordogne River."
The body was found by a dog, who was one of seven involved in a search organised by gendarmes from Bergerac, they added.
A doctor pronounced Florian dead at the scene, before police removed her body.
Neither the circumstances nor cause of Floriane's death are yet known, and no theory – including the possibility of suicide – is being ruled out, said the source.
According to her her family, Floriane was supposed to meet a friend for the evening on July 23, but the friend claims not to have seen her.
An investigation was opened last week by the Bergerac prosecutor's office into a "'disturbing disappearance."
Those questioned by police included Florian's boyfriend, whom she lived with in Montanceix, near Saint-Astier.

Cat named Leonardo da Pinchy terrorises town by stealing people's underwear
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A cheeky cat called Leonardo da Pinchi has been stealing pants and socks from his neighbours. His relentless laundry raids have made him quite the notorious celebrity in Mairangi Bay, New Zealand. The 15-month-old feline thief has expensive taste too – seeking out silk boxer shorts and thick men's work socks, often with the clothes pegs still attached. He's even stolen a brand-new $300 NZD (£134) cashmere sweater. His criminal life first started when he was let outdoors for the first time last year. The problem has got out of hand for his owner Helen North who struggles to manage her cat's kleptomania. She said: 'My daughter was at home sick and she rang me at work saying, 'It's bad, it's bad, this is the worst thing he's brought in, it's really bad,' she said. 'Because it was beautiful. I was like, 'Ooh, can I keep that?' But I couldn't.' To Helen's horror, the stolen stash just keeps growing – everything from piles of socks, loads of underwear, and even a bizarre five-foot-long stuffed snake. Leo's record so far in one day is nine stolen items. Helen continued: 'He brought in a jersey this morning at ten past eight. The shops hadn't even opened.' Helen has tried everything under the sun to stop his thieving habits including keeping him indoors to leaving out clothes at home for him to steal. She said: 'He only wants stuff that he shouldn't have.' She has no choice now but to post photos of his loot on a local Facebook page, along with an apology and her address. A woman recognised her pink and purple underpants, and a boy was reunited with his missing sports jersey. More Trending One of Leo's regular targets is allergic to cats and she is forced to dry her washing indoors. 'All of our neighbours think he's amazing,' she said. 'Some of them are quite put out that he hasn't actually stolen anything of theirs.' Helen hopes that this is just a childhood phase for Leo and that he will grow out of it. She added: 'I hope he grows out of it because I don't want to do this for like, 15 years. This is a lot of admin.'

Mystery over death of boy, 14, killed in broad daylight e-bike crash as cops hunt Kia driver
No arrests have been made yet by police TRAGIC CRASH Mystery over death of boy, 14, killed in broad daylight e-bike crash as cops hunt Kia driver Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) COPS are urgently hunting for the driver of a Kia after a 14-year-old boy was killed in a horror crash. Jacob Calland was riding an e-scooter with a friend before it collided with a car in Wythenshawe, Manchester, back in March. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Jacob Calland with is mother Carly Credit: Greater Manchester Police 2 Cops are now looking to urgently speak with the driver of this car Credit: Greater Manchester Police The teenager spent eight days in intensive care before he succumbed to his injuries. No arrests have been made by cops but officers have now released an image of a vehicle as part of the investigation. Cops are urgently looking to speak to the driver of the car – a white 2015 onward Kia Venga - in relation to the incident. The driver is not a suspect in the investigation and officers only wish to speak to them to support their ongoing work, said Greater Manchester Police. Detective Constable Steve Pennington from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: "This was a truly tragic incident that has devastated a young boy's family. "Our thoughts remain with Jacob's loved ones, and we continue to support his family as they navigate this unimaginable loss. 'We are very keen to speak to the driver of the white Kia Venga who may have witnessed the moments leading up to the collision. "I want to be clear that they are not under suspicion – we believe they could have vital information that may help us understand what happened. "If you are that driver, or know who they might be, please get in touch with us as soon as possible.' Jacob's heartbroken mum Carly arrived at the scene moments after the crash, said "18 minutes of him leaving this front door, his life was gone". She called for stricter regulations and safety measures for e-scooters and said "if I can save one life it is going to be worth it". Carly previously described her son as "very loving, headstrong, and a cheeky chappy". "He knew what he wanted in life and he was always going to go for it," she said. She said her son's fatal crash was "something I've never seen before". "You see it on TV but that's your life changing in that split instance it was surreal", Carly added. In conversations with Jacob, the mum said she had warned him not to get on e-bikes or electric scooters, because "he didn't have road sense on his feet never mind on something as powerful as these things". E-scooters are legal to buy and use on private land, but it is illegal to ride them on public roads unless they are hired through an authorised rental scheme. Alongside her calls for e-scooter licences and a ban on their sale to children, Carly wants to see more safety equipment on the vehicles. She said: "When we get in a car we have to wear a seat belt. Why when they get on the e-scooters do they just get to go on them with no helmets [and] no safety equipment?" Carly also wants stricter punishments for those breaching e-scooter laws. The heartbroken mum said: "You think it is never going to be you. I thought the same. I never thought that my son was going to die on an e-scooter. "I hope no other parent, brother, sister... has to go through this because it isn't an easy journey. "I just hope that our message and campaign and... putting my pain into [Jacob's] power is going to save somebody else from doing this." Cops urged anyone who witnessed the incident or has any CCTV, dashcam, or doorbell footage is asked to get in touch with officers. This can be done by contacting police via 101 or quoting log 2263 of 19/03/25. Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Four dead in mass shooting at Montana bar with gunman on the loose
A manhunt is underway after four people were shot dead at a small town Montana bar. The shooting broke out at The Owl Bar in Anaconda around 10.30am on Friday, said the Montana Division of Criminal Investigation. All four victims were pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect was last spotted near Stump Town, which is a short distance west from Anaconda. He is believed to be armed. Details around the shooting were not immediately released by law enforcement officials. Officers searched the suspect's home in Anaconda and he was nowhere to be found. They are hunting for him in the woods. Business owners said they were still under lockdown two hours after the shooting. More Trending 'We are Montana, so guns are not new to us. For our town to be locked down, everybody's pretty rattled,' said Barbie Nelson, owner of Firefly Café. 'It's a small town, so we all probably know someone who was there.' Governor Greg Gianforte wrote on X that he is 'closely monitoring the situation involving an active shooter in Anaconda'. Anaconda is roughly 75 miles southeast of Missoula. Got a story?
