NEWPORT, Ore. (AP) - The body of a missing Newport man has been found on the Oregon coast.
The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office says the body of 37-year-old Michael Lanpheare was found Wednesday along the surf line in the Lost Creek area, about five miles north of Seal Rock.
An autopsy will be done this week.
Police last week arrested 35-year-old Donald Lawyer III in connection with the disappearance after he was found naked and bloody along Highway 101 in Seal Rock. Lawyer has been charged with second-degree manslaughter.
