The Idaho County Sheriff’s Office says the body of a Jerome man missing since Oct. 14 has been found in Hells Canyon.
A fisherman on the Snake River found the remains of Ray Dean Leavitt last week. Leavitt, 64, was fishing with Tom Blair, 50, when their boat struck a rock, throwing both men into the river. Blair resurfaced and swam back to the boat.
An Idaho Department of Fish and Game officer and a Nez Perce County Sheriff’s deputy retrieved the body and took it to a Lewiston funeral home at the request of Leavitt’s family. (AP)
