Officials are still waiting on the West Virginia Medical Examiner's Office to positively identify a body found yesterday in the Ohio River.
Shortly before 4:00 Wednesday, rescue crews recovered a body in Hockingport, Ohio that they believe is that of 20-year-old Jeremy Midcap.
Midcap had been missing since a boating accident Saturday afternoon that also claimed the life of his father.
Crews spent five days searching the river for Jeremy.
"We drug the river, we used sonar devices, we've had divers in, we had cadaver dogs in. There's absolutely nothing else I could think of that we could do," said Chief Danny Goodwin, Vienna Volunteer Fire Department.
Jeremy's mother has set up a fund for the father and son at WesBanco.
You can stop by any area branch and ask for the "Jeremy and David Midcap Donation Fund."
