Eighth Drowning Victim Recovered In Mississippi
The body of Clarence Sanderson, 25, from near Waukon, is the eighth drowning victim in a Prairie du Chien incident. Russell Sheckler, 30, found the body about 800 feet from the car’s accident site while fishing with a turtle hook. Sanderson’s death follows a night out with seven companions who had been returning from a movie when the car plunged through the ice. A long wrist cut suggests escape through a car window. Sanderson’s hat was recovered earlier near the scene, and theories linger about whether he escaped before the crash.
