SISSETON, S.D. (AP) - Authorities say a body discovered near
Interstate 29 in northeast South Dakota's Roberts County is that of
a Sisseton man reported missing earlier this month. No foul play is
suspected.
Roberts County State's Attorney Kerry Cameron and state Attorney
General Marty Jackley say a farmer last Friday found the body of
22-year-old Mandel Yankton Jr. beside a culvert. Yankton had been
reported missing June 10.
Authorities say initial results from an autopsy indicate
Yankton's death was accidental.
