BOONE COUNTY - Boone County Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Gale Blomenkamp confirmed to KOMU 8 News at 11 a.m. Friday they had located the body of the missing 17-year-old boy west of Cooper's Landing.
Blomenkamp said the body was found 30 feet off shore in the target search area near where Perche Creek flows into the Missouri River a quarter-mile upstream from Cooper's Landing.
Blomenkamp said he believes the boy drowned after being swept up in an eddy, which is a swirling current that can pull and hold objects deep underwater.
KOMU 8 News has two reporters on the scene and will provide more information as it becomes available.
