Remains discovered in submerged vehicle linked to missing individual from Arizona
Missing Man's Body Found in Recovered Truck from Lake Powell
In a tragic development, the Kane County Sheriff's Office has confirmed that an unidentified body was discovered in a truck pulled out of Lake Powell, Utah. The truck, belonging to Dennis Keith Dillinger, a man missing since December 2023, was spotted in the water over the Labor Day weekend.
Dillinger, who was last seen at a Family Dollar in Kanab, Arizona on Dec. 1, 2023, has been missing for nearly nine months. The truck, which was previously confirmed to be registered to Dillinger, was initially found in the lake on Wednesday.
The location of the discovery was Lone Rock Beach within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The National Park Service and the Page Arizona Police Department have been instrumental in the recovery efforts. The Kane County Sheriff's Office expressed its gratitude for their involvement.
The body found in the truck has been taken to the Utah State Medical Examiner's Office for identification and further investigation. It is worth noting that in January 2023, a deceased individual was found in a truck that sank in Lake Powell. While the exact identity was not publicly disclosed, the driver of the Arizona-registered truck was that individual.
The investigation into Dillinger's disappearance is still ongoing, and the case is being handled by the Kane County Sheriff's Department. As the investigation progresses, more details will be made available to the public.
The authorities urge anyone with information relevant to the case to come forward and contact the Kane County Sheriff's Office. This is a reminder of the importance of community involvement in solving such mysteries.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Dennis Keith Dillinger during this difficult time. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
