A body recovered last week from the St. Joseph River could be a Three Rivers man who was reported missing earlier this month, according to sheriff’s department officials.
Members of the St. Joseph County Dive/Rescue team recovered the body in Three Rivers Friday.
Investigators are awaiting autopsy results for confirmation it is the body of Justin Berg, 45, who had been missing since May 9.
