MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The search for a missing Oakdale man came to a tragic conclusion this Thanksgiving.

Authorities identified a body recovered from the St. Croix River as that of Vue Her -- a kayaker who went missing near Taylors Falls in July. Two hunters discovered the body Tuesday on the river banks of the Wisconsin side of the park.
