Closure for the family of a missing Missouri State Trooper, after his body was swept away by flood waters last summer in Northwest Missouri.  The Highway Patrol says a construction contractor doing highway repairs in the area Thursday discovered the body of Fred Guthrie in a brush pile not far from where he and his K-9 partner were patrolling August first near Big Lake. Guthrie’s dog was recovered the day after the two disappeared. A funeral was held for the missing trooper last month, even though his body had not yet been recovered.   In a prepared statement, Governor Jay Nixon said Trooper Guthrie made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the people of Missouri.

These dedicated men and women are not honored or compensated near enough by us today. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
