RED WING, Minn. (AP) - A Blue Earth man still hopes his son's body is found more than three months after authorities say he fell into the Mississippi River and drowned.
Robert More was last seen leaving a Hager City, Wis., bar early on March 28. He lived nearby on a houseboat anchored in a back channel of the river.
His father, Duane More, was in Alaska at the time with his wife. They were caring for another son, who was dying. That son passed away on June 19.
The Mores wish they could have held a funeral for both of their sons together. But they don't want to hold a memorial for Robert until he is found.
Rescue teams and divers searched for Robert More for three days and have done regular searches since. Pierce County, Wis., investigator Tom Bauer says they are grasping at straws.
