Body Of Missing Teen Found On Big Creek

Johnson County, Mo Sheriff patch
Search crews have found the body of a Missouri teen who hadn’t been seen since he bailed from a sinking boat last weekend.

Eighteen-year-old Brian VanMeter was on a boat with friends last Sunday on Big Creek in Johnson County.

Their boat hit something and began to take on water.

The two survivors told authorities that VanMeter tried to hang on to a limb but had to let go and they never saw him again.

His body was recovered Friday.
