Human foot found in shoe along Fish Lake shoreline may belong to man missing since 1997
SEVIER COUNTY, Utah () — On Friday, May 16, a man and his dog were walking along the shore of Fish Lake in Sevier County. The dog picked up a shoe it found on the shore — and officials believe it may be connected to the case of a man who went missing in 1997. According to Sevier County Sheriff Nathan Curtis, the owner of the dog noticed what 'appeared to be a bone in the shoe.' 'Detectives responded and found the remains of what appeared to be the remains of a human foot inside the shoe,' Curtis told This Utah woman was last seen in 1978. Nearly 50 years later, police are still searching for answers The Utah Medical Examiner's Office confirmed that the shoe contained a human foot. The morning after the shoe was found, crews returned to the lake to search the shoreline and water near where it was discovered. 'No other evidence was found to indicate where the foot came from,' the sheriff's office said. After the discovery, detectives with the Sevier County Sheriff's Office began looking into a missing persons case from 1997. Curtis said detectives found a child of that missing man and have sent in a DNA sample to compare with the foot. There is no further information at this time.

Utah Department of Wildlife Resources inspects 11K boats for invasive species over Memorial Day weekend
SALT LAKE CITY () — The Utah Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) said it inspected about 11,000 boats for an invasive species this Memorial Day weekend. DWR said it was looking for quagga mussels and Eurasian watermilfoil. Quagga mussels can destroy fisheries, damage boats, and even pollute shorelines, DWR reported. Officers say they found about 140 boats with the invasive mollusk. Eurasian watermilfoil is an invasive plant that has made its way through Utah. It blocks out sunlight, killing native plants and hurting fish. According to DWR, bringing even one piece of watermilfoil to a body of water can start a new population. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said invasive species like mussels and watermilfoil impact everyone in Utah. 'We have pictures that show PVC pipes that are being completely closed off with these growing mussels within a year's time we can completely close off a 2-inch waterline. So, those costs go to even non-boaters,' Bruce Johnson, Lieutenant of AIS Operations at DNR, told in an interview. Sandy mom of six survives 15 years of blood cancer, helps other patients fight Johnson said that the solution is simple: When you leave the water, clean, drain, and dry your boat. 'Clean, drain, and dry. That program, that concept works for everything,' Johnson stated. 'As soon as a boater pulls out of any water body, pull all the drain plugs, let all the water drain out, let your boat air dry out, and that will prevent so many problems down the line.' However, it is important to drain and dry a boat at the body of water. Draining into a gutter or a storm drain is 'the worst thing you can do,' Johnson said. That can contaminate other bodies of water that the DNR may not be able to track, causing problems and clogging pipes. According to DWR and DNR, in order to keep Utah's water bodies healthy, boaters also must stop at an inspection station before going in the water. Inspection stations are found throughout the state. An inspection technician will help you and give you a receipt. 'It is mandatory that while we are open at any of these locations, those boaters are required to pull in and get that inspection,' Johnson told 'and it's a good thing for them, […] if they are carrying water, we're preventing that water from being transported from that infested water body and being deposited in a clean water body up here.'
