OTHELLO – A fun day of fishing was turned upside down for a group of kids who deputies say found a body floating in a lake between Othello and Connell [ca nell] on Sunday. Franklin County Sheriff’s officials say the kids were fishing at the Scooteney Lake Reservoir just southeast of Othello when they noticed a body in the willows near the bank of the lake. Due to the body’s advanced state of decomposition, investigators are unable to determine the gender of the remains pending an examination.
MEANWHILE…
The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office says it is aware that Moses Lake murder victim Yanira Cedillos’ body was never located, and they’ve alerted other law enforcement agencies about the discovery in case the remains are identified as hers.
