Mayville Police Department received a missing person complaint from the 77-year-old Mayville man’s family Monday afternoon. Ketchem said in the press release the police department began its investigation with a thorough search of Bachhuber’s residence. After confirming Bachhuber was not in his residence, a silver alert was requested and we began attempting to locate Bachhuber’s last known location.

A silver alert is issued when authorities are looking for a missing person, in particular someone who is a senior citizen.

Two separate tips came in Tuesday morning from people who observed Bachhuber walking south on Highway 67 near Dunn Road, south of Mayville, between 11 p.m., Saturday and 12:20 a.m., Sunday.

The search consisted of vehicle and foot patrol from the Mayville Police Department and Dodge County Sheriff’s Office, use of an unmanned drone from the Sheriff’s Office, snowmobile patrols from the Sheriff’s Office and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, K9 Search and Rescue teams from Wisconsin K9 SOS and Southern Wisconsin K9 Search and Rescue.

The K9 units picked up a short scent track on the east side of STH 67 in between Dunn Road and Zion Church Road, but were unable to maintain the track.

Has it been confirmed that the body found was JB?
The article is a little confusing based on how it’s worded:
It states a body was discovered on private property on Highway 67 in the Village of Kekoskee — matching the description of a man last seen Feb. 15 in Mayville.
The body was turned over to the Dodge County Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy and positive identification.
BUT THEN IT STATES:
Officials with the Wisconsin Department of Justice announced Monday night a Silver Alert was canceled for Bachhuber, who was “located.”
