Kentucky State Police at Mayfield said Monday that the body of a missing Calloway County man was recovered.

The body of 39-year-old Samuel T. Wilson of Murray was found 150 feet from where his vehicle was found in flood waters in Graves County.

WIlson had been last seen by family members on February 16th.
