Authorities have recovered the body of one of two people missing while ice fishing on a lake in southwestern Minnesota.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office says divers recovered the body of 29-year-old Brianna Jean Thooft from Lake Benton on Saturday.
Thooft and 54-year-old Bradley Allen Lund were last heard from early on Feb. 1 when they apparently left a fish house on the lake. Lund's pickup was later recovered from the bottom of the lake.
Authorities continued to look for Lund on Sunday but were unsuccessful. The weather, including freezing rain, made their search difficult.
