Body Recovered From Water in Lakes of the Woods County

The Lake of the Woods Sheriff’s Department says a body has been found in the water near the Canadian Border. 

Sheriff’s officials would not comment on whether the body might be that of a third boater from Baudette, Keith Ayers, who has been missing since October. 

The bodies of two other men, Justin Haugtvedt and Cody Ostendorf, were found shortly after their boat capsized on Lake of the Woods.  The three men were last seen leaving Sunset Lodge on Oak Island on October 2. 

Their 16-foot boat was found capsized near Flag Island the next day.
