The 18-year-old went missing three days ago, having been last seen by friends at the Corporation nightclub in Milton Street, Sheffield, at around 2.30am on Sunday morning.
The body, found in the Porter Brook river near Summerfield Street at the bottom of Ecclesall Road, has not been formally identified but South Yorkshire police said they believe it to be Ms Everest.
The Sheffield Hallam University student's family became concerned when she did not turn up for work or a family dinner on Sunday.

In a statement police said: "Police continue to appeal to anyone who may have seen Caroline in this location to come forward."
