Help Sought In Naming Body Found In Kansas Flooding

A man found dead in the floodwaters of the Missouri River last month remains unidentified, and Leavenworth police are asking the public’s help in putting a name to the body.

Police said Thursday the man’s body was found Aug. 27 in floodwaters near Second and Poplar streets in Leavenworth. He’s described as a white male in his 30s or 40s, about 5 feet 7 inches tall.

He was wearing blue swimming trunks, size small, and had a yellow “Livestrong” wristband in a pocket, a green rubber bracelet around his ankle and a silver cross on a dog tag-style chain around his neck. His weight and hair color are unknown.

Leavenworth police are hoping to hear from anyone with information about the man.
