Severed Leg Found In Reservoir

Authorities searching for a North Platte man missing for over a week say a severed leg has been found in a reservoir about 20 miles west of North Platte.

The Lincoln County Sheriff's Department says the limb was found in Sutherland Reservoir on Thursday. An anthropologist determined the leg had been severed by a boat propeller.

DNA testing will determine if it belongs to 61-year-old Larry Sack, who was reported missing September 3rd when he failed to show up at a family gathering. His pickup truck and fishing gear were found the next day near a canal that flows to the reservoir.

Authorities say Sack has diabetes and hadn't been feeling well prior to his disappearance.
