Police in Outagamie County say they've found the body of a kayaker, who went missing along the Embarass River north of Shiocton Friday afternoon. 

A sheriff's deputy found footprints of the man, and the DNR helped with an air search of the area. The man was found about a mile and a half north of where he parked his car. 

Police haven't released the name of the man, and say an investigation into the case is still ongoing.
