MANDAN, N.D. (AP) - Authorities have recovered the body of a 74-year-old Bismarck man who went missing April 9 while boating on the Heart River.

A Morton County sheriff’s deputy discovered Lynn Fairfield’s body Wednesday while doing a check of the shoreline west of Mandan. The body was about a mile downstream from where Fairfield’s boat had capsized.

Crews have searched by air, land and water over the past month.
