Body found in Mississippi river identified as missing Dubuque man
Investigators have identified the body found Monday in the Mississippi River near Dubuque. The State Medical Examiner's office said he was 39-year-old Gregor Wardle of Dubuque.
The Dubuque County Sheriff said Wardle disappeared in April 2009. At that time, someone reported seeing a man jump off the Julien Dubuque Bridge.
Investigators later found his car near the bridge. In July 2009, a court ruled him officially deceased.
Dubuque County deputies were called to an area where the Catfish Creek meets the Mississippi River around 11:15 a.m. Monday. A barge worker had reported seeing a body in the water.
A body was found today in this area, near the Massey Marina in Dubuque. (The Gazette)
