The report involved a 66-year-old Shelbyville man, Marvin Parker, TWRA said. Family and friends told the agency he went out on the lake on Friday, March 6, to fish and place fish attractors in the water, but they had not heard from him since that day.
A family member spotted Parker’s unoccupied vessel along the shoreline near the Normandy Dam on Sunday, and contacted 911 to report him missing. While first responders were on the lake investigating, another fisherman in a nearby creek reported discovering a body. Responders recovered the individual and positively identified him as Parker.
