SEYBERT (AP) – The body of a fisherman who disappeared last week has been recovered in a southwest Missouri lake.

Crews had been searching for 61-year-old Rodney David, of Golden City, since his empty boat was spotted Friday evening running in circles in the middle of Stockton Lake.

The Highway Patrol says David’s body was found around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday and released to the Dade County coroner. Authorities said the death appears to be drowning, but the patrol will continue investigating how David went into the water.
