Body Of Man Missing For Month Found On Lake Michigan Beach

ST. JOSEPH, Mich. (AP) - The body of a man has been found on a Lake Michigan beach, a month after he may have been swept into the water with a friend during a night of strong wind and high waves.

State police say the body of 23-year-old Eike Krebs of St. Joseph was found Saturday in Berrien County in southwestern Michigan. The body of 24-year-old Brandi Mannino was found Nov. 20, shortly after they disappeared.

Police believe they could have been swept into Lake Michigan while walking on a pier. The water temperature was 51 degrees.

Dive teams had been checking the area for Krebs' body as recently as Thursday.
