One Body Recovered, One Still Missing at Lake Eufaula

KWGS News File

EUFAULA, Okla. (AP) — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says one of two boaters who were reported missing on Lake Eufaula has been found.

Troopers say a search crew on Tuesday recovered the body of 23-year-old James Giles of Henryetta in water about 14 feet deep. Searchers used sonar and dragging equipment to find Giles' body.

Giles and 41-year-old Sean McDonald were last seen between 11 p.m. and midnight Saturday leaving the Holiday Cove area on the lake in a canoe. McDonald still hadn't been found Tuesday, and the search was suspended until Wednesday morning.
