The body of a boater missing since his vessel capsized in the Columbia River at the mouth of the White Salmon River on Wednesday has been recovered. The Hood River County Sheriff’s Office says the body of Michael Shufeldt of Washougal was located in the Columbia River on Monday morning, about one-and-three-quarter miles from where he was last seen. Columbia River Intertribal Police officers and the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office assisted in the recovery of Shufeldt’s body. The sunken vessel has also been successfully recovered. It was initially reported the vessel was a North River boat, which turned out to be incorrect. The 24’ fishing boat was recovered by a private salvage company without incident. Information gathered by investigators indicates the sinking was a result of rapidly deteriorating weather conditions on Wednesday that the Sheriff’s Office called “treacherous,” as the boat capsized after taking a large wave over the stern. Six people were rescued, with two transported to a hospital.
