MILLCREEK — A body pulled from a creek Wednesday has been identified as a Murray man missing since Sept. 14.
The body of Nick Kapos, 82, was spotted Wednesday morning by utility workers near 145 W. Central Ave. Search and rescue crews recovered the body, which was tangled in weeds and brush. The creek branches off from Big Cottonwood Creek.
The body appeared to have been in the water for some time, Lohrke said.
