GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) - PPL Montana crews breaking up ice near the Black Eagle Dam discovered a body in the Missouri River near Great Falls on Wednesday morning.
Cascade County Sheriff Bob Edwards said neither the county nor the Great Falls police department have reports of a missing person.
Recovery efforts were hampered by shifting ice and near-freezing temperatures that prevented a rescue team from entering the water.
