Woman's body found week after Branson flooding

BRANSON (AP) - Authorities have recovered a body in Bull Shoals Lake that they believe may be the third victim of a flash flooding incident in Branson.

Branson Police Chief Stan Dobbins said a woman's body was spotted by a fisherman on Saturday and pulled from the lake.

Taney County authorities are still working to identify the body, but authorities believe it is likely 31-year-old Whitney McDonald. She was driving a vehicle with four other people inside that was swept away by floodwaters on May 27.

The bodies of 37-year-old Antonio Finley and 17-year-old Kaliea Munn were found the following day.

The flood victims were from Nashville, Arkansas, and in Branson for a basketball tournament being held in the city.
