GRDA Divers Recover Body Of Missing Vinita Man
Langley – The Grand River Dam Authority Police
Department has recovered the body of a Vinita man, missing since Tuesday
morning (March 9), from his home near Grand Lake.
GRDA is
reporting that its dive team located the body of Carl Miller (81), in about 25
feet of water, near a boat dock at the Grand Point area of Grand Lake. Miller’s
body was located about 4:15 on Wednesday afternoon (March 10).
Mr. Miller had
been reported missing Tuesday morning. Soon after, several law enforcement and
emergency management personnel began an exhaustive land search. At daylight on
Wednesday, the GRDA dive team began its search in Grand Lake. Weather was a
factor during that effort and there were some delays due to lightning moving
through the area.
Miller’s body
will be transported to the state medical examiner’s office in Tulsa
