UPDATE, 1:50 P.M.: Maine Game Warden Chad Robertson and his K9 Storm located the body of a missing St. George man earlier Thursday morning. 

Robert “Bob” Conrad, age 81 of St. George, had gone for a walk Wednesday afternoon around 4 p.m. behind his residence off Wallston Road. He had not been seen since.

At approximately 10 a.m. Thursday, Warden Robertson and Storm located Conrad about one-third of a mile behind his residence.

Conrad was transported to Hall’s funeral home where he will be examined by a state medical examiner. It is suspected Conrad died of hypothermia in the bog.”
