(KNZA)--The victim in a Kansas Bureau of Investigation and Doniphan County Sheriff’s Office death investigation was recovered from the Missouri River late Saturday morning.

According to a news release from the KBI, a resident spotted a body in the river, south of St. Joseph, around 11:30. 

The Buchanan County Sheriff‘s Office responded and recovered the body, which has been identified as 64-year-old Daniel Purvis, of St. Joseph.

Authorities had been searching the Wolf River in Doniphan County, and other nearby bodies of water for Purvis since Monday.

The KBI says 40-year-old Christopher Colhour, from the St. Joseph area,  was arrested Monday for the alleged theft of a 2009 Chevy Traverse, which belonged to Purvis.

Colhour remains in the Doniphan County Jail due to his suspected involvement in the disappearance of Purvis.  Further charges are pending.
