Police: Body Of Missing Man Matthew Shelters Found
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) - Police in Steamboat Springs say they have recovered the body of a man they believe to be Matthew Shelters.
Shelters, who was 38, went missing more than two months ago and police didn't suspect foul play in the disappearance.
The police chief there told the Steamboat Today he's very saddened by this outcome.
The body was found by a hiker along the bank of Soda Creek with Shelters' ID and cellphone. He was last seen April 24 when he left the Back Door Grill.
Friends and family started a Facebook page in the effort to find Shelters and they distributed T-shirts with his face printed on the front. They searched along the Yampa River.
An autopsy will be conducted to help authorities try to determine what led to his death.
