Fishermen found the body of a 51-year-old Chesapeake, Va., man missing for more than a month after a hunting boat was swamped in the cold, choppy, waters of Currituck Sound.
Two fishermen found the body of Phillip Boedker on Wednesday morning. It was floating east of Mossey Island about four miles southwest of where the boat sank Jan. 11.
One of the five in the boat during the accident, Michael LaBounty of Moyock, was rescued after 14 hours in the water. The bodies of his son, Michael Jr., 8; and John Milton Melson, 33, of Coinjock; and his son, John Sidney Melson, 6, were recovered the next day.
