Linn rescue drill ends as missing man surfaces near park
Six deputies and a state park ranger searched the Cedar River near Palisades Kepler State Park after a 1 a.m. call for a drowning victim. The supposed victim, Kurt Hart, 21, walked ashore seven hours later near Highway 1 south of Mount Pleasant. Hart slept under a bridge afterward. Scott Fitzgerald, 20, of Iowa City said Hart slipped into the river. Hart later said he rode the current to a bank. The sheriff estimated the search cost at 600 to 700 dollars due to donated time. The sheriff called it a good drill.
