DAVID HOTLE
MUSCATINE — Reported missing on Dec. 19, Michael “Little Beaver” Bishop has been found and brought home.

On Monday afternoon, the Chaos Divers, a dive team from Harrisburg, Illinois, that specializes in finding missing persons, reported Bishop’s 2021 Chevy Trail Boss had been located in the Mississippi River about 400 yards from the Toolsboro boat ramp.

Battling ice sheets to recover the truck from the frigid waters, the team dove on the truck, confirming the license plate. The cold water produced problems, though, that made further exploration impossible. The truck was recovered with heavy equipment from shore.

It was confirmed Bishop was inside the truck.

One of the divers spoke of the satisfaction and the sadness associated with such work, especially knowing how important it is to family.
