The body of a Monett man swept along rain-swollen Kelly Creek on Tuesday has been recovered several miles downstream, according to the Missouri State Water Patrol.
The body of Mark Speir, 19, was pulled from the creek at 9:30 a.m. by three water patrolmen who found the body in two feet of water about four miles downstream from downtown Monett. Witnesses said they saw a man struggling in the flooded creek that flows along U.S. 60 in downtown Monett on Tuesday afternoon.
