Searchers fail to find body in Skunk River
A report a woman's body was seen floating in the Skunk River south of the Highway 1 bridge drew peace officers from several counties. A night-long search by boat and ground crews found no trace of a body or anything resembling one. Witness Clyde Little of Brighton claimed to have seen it about 7 30 Monday evening. Authorities kept the Coppock Bridge lit through the night with a portable generator and two 500 watt lamps as the river was combed from both banks. Deputies and conservation officers worked from nightfall until daylight, with residents providing food and support. Deputy Swift remained convinced something was seen.
