Athens – Divers with the Texas Department of Public Safety have recovered the body of Jerry King, 72, of Athens from Richland Chambers Reservoir. He body was discovered at 9:30 a.m. Friday. Texas game wardens earlier had identified a return on side-scan sonar that proved to be King.
King and his grandson, 17-year-old Jerrod Rachel, were reported missing March 24 after King's pontoon boat was found lodged in standing timber near Hickey Island north of the U.S. Hwy 287 bridge on the 41,000-acre lake in Navarro County.
