Missing Man's Snowmobile Found In Colorado Reservoir

DOVE CREEK, Colo. (AP) — Search teams looking for a missing man have found his snowmobile in Groundhog Reservoir in southwestern Colorado.

The Dolores County Sheriff's Department said Friday the hunt for 37-year-old Ronald Wallace became a recovery operation in search of his body after the snowmobile was found Thursday.

Wallace was last heard from on Sunday when he telephoned a friend while taking a break on a snowmobiling trip. A family member reported him missing on Tuesday.

Searchers used a helicopter, snowmobiles and a dive team to comb the area in eastern Dolores County.
