The body of a Missouri highway patrolman who disappeared while watching over flooded areas last summer was found Thursday not far from the original search area.
46-year-old Fred Guthrie Jr., hadn't been seen since Aug. 1, when his still-running truck, with a trailer attached, was found northeast of the village of Big Lake in northwest Missouri's Holt County. His remains were found in a brush pile within 200 or 300 yards of the original search site as crews filled a hole in a state highway. After Guthrie's disappearance, troopers repeatedly and unsuccessfully combed farm fields but only managed to find the remains of his canine partner, Reed. The patrol declared Guthrie dead in September, and a funeral and memorial service were held for the father of three last month. Troopers had been assigned to the construction site where Guthrie's remains were found.
