Fisherman Finds Body of Missing Delaware Airman Keifer Huhman

Dover Police say a body found in the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal is that of an airman who went missing from Dover Air Force Base more than a month ago.

The department said in a news release Friday that Senior Airman Keifer Huhman's body was found Thursday by a fisherman in the canal along Dutch Neck Road.

The 21-year-old airman was reported missing on Feb. 10 after he failed to report for duty. Huhman's truck was found on the shoulder of the bridge spanning the canal.

The Air Force base commander declared Huhman dead earlier this month, and a memorial service for him was conducted March 11.
