The body of the last of three missing fishermen has been found in Alabama, following a five-day search.

Henry County Sheriff Will Maddox tells The Dothan Eagle that searchers located 51-year-old Keith Price, of Headland, near Thomas Mill Creek on Monday morning.

The three anglers launched their boat from the creek’s landing on Wednesday. The first body, that of 52-year-old Timothy Arnold Evans, was found Friday morning, and the body of 54-year-old John White was found Sunday.

Searchers have also located the men’s boat 60 to 80 feet (18 to 24 meters) underwater. Maddox says investigators will hopefully be able to piece together what occurred once the boat is accessible.

Multiple agencies responded to the search area, which included Lake Eufala.
