Missing Man's Body Pulled From Liberty Reservoir

ELDERSBURG, Md. (AP) -- Authorities have identified a body found in Liberty Reservoir as that of a 44-year-old Baltimore man who had been missing since last week.

The Carroll County Sheriff's Office says that Christopher Anthony White had been missing since Sept. 9. Authorities had been searching for him after a Maryland State trooper found his vehicle parked along the shoulder of Liberty Road, adjacent to the reservoir.

The sheriff's office says a motorist alerted authorities Tuesday morning about an object floating in the reservoir. Rescue team members later recovered a partially decomposed body.

Sheriff's investigators have transported White's body to the State Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy.
