Body of missing Savannah man found in Doniphan

Michael-Steeby-flierThe body of a Savannah man has been found across state lines after he was reported missing more than a week prior.

Michael Steeby was found in Doniphan County, Kan. Friday afternoon after an extensive search.

The Savannah Police Department said Steeby was originally reported missing to the Savannah Police Department on Wednesday Jan. 6.  Steeby had left his residence on Monday Jan. 4th and family members had reported they had not been in contact with him since then.

Friday a plane from the Missouri State Highway Patrol searching the area along the Missouri River looking for Steeby found his vehicle on a levee in Doniphan County, Kan.  His body was found shortly after by investigators with the Missouri Division of Drug and Crime Control.

The Doniphan County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation at the scene and the Doniphan County Coroner has requested an autopsy be performed to try and determine the cause of death.

The Savannah Police Department said there were no obvious signs of foul play but are awaiting autopsy results.
