CATRON COUNTY OFFICIALS ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE MEDICAL INVESTIGATOR ON A MAN'S BODY FOUND IN A SAND BAR IN THE GILA NATIONAL FOREST OVER THE WEEKEND. A HIKER FOUND THE BODY SATURDAY.
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES WANT TO KNOW IF IT'S THE BODY OF THE 83 YEAR OLD ARIZONA MAN WHO WENT MISSING AFTER A FLOOD-RELATED EVACUATION IN MOGOLLON OVER A WEEK AGO. HOWARD BASSETT HAD BEEN STAYING AT THE SILVER CREEK INN THERE, BUT NEVER RETURNED FOR HIS BELONGING.
