(Clarinda) The State Medical Examiner has confirmed that the body that was found on November 9, 2019 in Page County just north of Clarinda is that of 68-year-old Dale Allen Hodtwalker of rural Clarinda and formerly of the Council Bluffs area.
The Page County Sheriff’s Office says Hodtwalker was reported as missing on October 22, 2019 at approximately 8:30 AM. A systematic search of the area involving persons on foot, K-9’s, persons on horseback, drones, helicopters and airplanes did not locate Hodtwalker at that time. The search was officially postponed on October 25, 2019. As more crops in the area were harvested, small searches continued until the body was found on November 9, 2019.
No foul play was found and Hodtwalker’s death was ruled accidental.
