TABLE ROCK LAKE, Mo. — According to officials, recovery has been made for a missing swimmer on Friday, August 13.
Missouri State Highway Patrol identified the swimmer as Bradley Bruce, 44, of Byrnes Mill, Missouri.
According to authorities, Bruce and his two sons were out on a rental boat on Table Rock Lake on Wednesday, August 11. At around 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Bruce’s 13-year-old son fell out of an intertube.
