Update: Body found near Point Judith after search

NARRAGANSETT -- Authorities have found a body in Narragansett Bay after a Point Judith ferry terminal worker alerted the Coast Guard this morning that an 85-year-old man who regularly walked the area might have fallen in the water last night.

A walker and a green Ford Taurus were both found near the site. They are believed to belong to the missing man -- known to some witnesses only as "Bob."

The body that was pulled out of the water at about 1:10 this afternoon has not been officially identified.

The state Department of Environmental Management's law enforcement officers are investigating at the scene.
