MEIGS COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ) – A body was found Thursday night in the Ohio River in the Racine area, Meigs County Sheriff Scott Fitch said.
A fisherman made the grim discovery around 7 p.m. near the Racine boat ramp – about 25 to 30 feet offshore.
The New Haven (W.Va.) Fire Department launched their boat to retrieve the body.
Sheriff Fitch said a tattoo on the body is a tentative match for one on a man recently reported missing by his family.
However, the state Medical Examiner’s Office will make the final call on the person’s identity.
