KISSEE MILLS, Mo. (AP) – A child’s body has been found in an area waterway, and authorities are working to determine if it is a boy who went missing last month, a spokesman for the Missouri State Highway Patrol said Sunday.
Fishermen found the body around 8:30 p.m. Saturday in Beaver Creek, which is part of Bull Shoals Lake in Taney County. Trooper Sam Carpenter said the body was found in the area where a 6-year-old boy went into the water on Feb. 18. The child’s name has not been released.
The child’s family lives about a mile from the site where the boy was last seen. Authorities said he and his two older sisters walked more than a mile from the home to the water.
