Missing Durand woman’s body located in Chippewa River
On Wednesday, August 23, 2017 at about 1:30 p.m. the Dunn County Sheriff’s office was able to locate the body of Kathy Schlosser of rural Durand. The body was located in the Chippewa River about a mile downstream from the CTH H bridge near Caryville in the Town of Rock Creek, in about 20 feet of water.
She had been last seen North East of Rock Falls at about noon on Monday, August 21, 2017.
Kathy Schlosser’s family and close friends were notified and are grateful to everyone who helped at this incident. They are thankful for the closure that locating Kathy’s body will bring to them and those that knew Kathy.
The Dunn County Sheriff’s Office deputies worked with at least a dozen different people who brought their boats to assist, hundreds of volunteers who came to search land near the river. Food, drinks and many other items were dropped off for those helping, and that allowed the volunteers to keep going without leaving for food and drink.
Several Fire Departments including the Rock Falls Fire Department, Township Fire Department, Menomonie Fire/Rescue, the Wisconsin DNR, Blue Hills Mounted Search and Rescue, EMS agencies, law enforcement agencies, search and rescue groups and community volunteer groups assisted in this effort.
