Ogden Police say a body spotted by someone walking along the Erie Canal just outside Spencerport yesterday was recovered by firefighters…and Police Chief Christopher Mears says there’s a “strong possibility” it’s the missing Spencerport High School graduate they’ve been searching for since December.
The body was spotted yesterday morning in the canal near Thistlewood Lane. It was near the north bank.
Police have been searching for 18-year-old Joshua Redfield since December 8th. They say it may take several days before the body is identified. It may have been beneath the ice on the canal until this weekend’s unseasonable weather melted the ice and brought it to the surface.
