Body of missing boater found near Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee police say the body of a missing boater has been recovered from Lake Michigan.

The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office identified the body Tuesday as 48-year-old Joseph Kiehm of Glendale. He was last seen Sept. 16 when he went sailing and was later reported missing.

The U.S. Coast Guard found the 26-foot sailboat a day later, about 9 miles from shore. Authorities say the boat was in good condition and had a full fuel tank.

Kiehm's body was recovered Monday about a mile east of Milwaukee.
