Generally what happens is that after drowning and floating for a day or so, a body will sink for a few days until gases due to decomposition make it float again. Part of this also depends on the temperature of the water. The warmer the water, the quicker this process happens.
In either case, a forensic doctor will be able to determine when the 'drowned body' first became drowned, and you won't get away with your crime.
