Authorities: Body of Missing Durand Woman Found in Chippewa River

Today, August 23, 2017 at about 1:30 p.m. we were able to locate the body of Kathy Schlosser of rural Durand. Her body was located in the Chippewa River about a mile downstream from the CTH H bridge near Caryville in the Town of Rock Creek. Her body was located in about 20 feet of water.

Kathy Schlosser’s family and close friends have been notified and want me to share their gratitude by thanking everyone who helped at this indecent. They are thankful for the closure that locating Kathy’s body will bring to them and those that knew Kathy.

The Dunn County Sheriff’s Office deputies worked with at least a dozen different people who brought their boats to assist, hundreds of volunteers who came to search land near the river. Food, drinks and many other items were dropped off for those helping, and that allowed the volunteers to keep going without leaving for food and drink.

We also want to thank all of the Fire Departments, EMS agencies, Law Enforcement Agencies, search and rescue groups and community volunteer groups who assisted in this effort.
