Sheriff Doubts Drowning Death In Miami River Case
Warren County Sheriff Richard Satterthwaite said no body has been found in the Miami River where the car of Leon Reece was located. Firemen and a Dayton rescue unit have searched the area for two days without locating a body, and the sheriff questions whether Reece is in the river at all. Reece, 41, missing since last Thursday, left a suicide note and was employed at National Cash Register. The investigation continues as relatives are interviewed.
