Arkadelphia police say the body of a
missing Clark County man, who was apparently fishing on a nearby
pond, was found late last night in the water.
Thirty-Three year old Henry Weller was last seen by his
girlfriend Barbara Falk on Sunday evening. Falk said he told her he
was going to see a friend, but never returned home.
Police searched the area on Monday and found Weller`s truck
parked at the dock, his homemade boat capsized and his fishing pole
floating in the water. Harris said the boat did not appear safe.
However, Weller`s friends say he often fished from the boat,
sitting in it in a lawn chair with an anchor tied to it. Harris
said he may have become tangled.
Authorities say they believe Weller fell into the water Sunday
night or early Monday while fishing. Harris said it appears to be a
drowning, but that the body will be sent to the medical examiner`s
office to make sure.
