A body was recovered this morning, September 17th, from Lake Norfork. On Monday evening, September 15th, at approximately 11:37 PM, the Sheriff’s Office was notified that a person was missing in the Float Creek area of Lake Norfork after having entered the water from a broken down boat several hours earlier in the day in an attempt to swim to the shore near Point 5A.
