BODY FOUND IN NEW RIVER

After three days of searching, the body of a Pulaski man was found Monday in the New River.

Police said James Marshall Neese, 81, jumped from the Pepper's Ferry Bridge Thursday afternoon.

Search and rescue teams from Pulaski and Radford searched the river by boat for Neese all weekend. On Monday, a team from the Radford Army Ammunition Plant Fire Department found the body near the McCoy area.

Pulaski investigators are calling the incident a suicide.
