Body of missing fisherman found at Salt River

FORT MCDOWELL, Ariz. – Deputies have recovered the body of a man who went missing while fishing at the Salt River on Monday evening.

What we know:

Nicole Nichols, the wife of 53-year-old Tre-vor Adams, told FOX 10 her husband went missing at around 5 p.m. on July 21 near the Sheep’s Crossing Recreation Site. He was wearing a gray long-sleeved shirt, a black hat and brown fishing waders.

“I found out because he didn’t come home because my husband is very patterned and predictable, so I knew something was wrong when I hadn’t heard from him,” Nichols said. “So when I came out here, the sheriffs were out here, and they were searching.”

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office says deputies recovered Adams’ body on Tuesday morning after they were unable to find him last night.

Investigators say Adams’ body was found a couple of hundred yards away from where he was fishing.

What we don’t know:

The circumstances leading up to Adam’s death are unknown, but there were no signs of foul play.
