The Patrick County Sheriff’s Office say that a search and rescue dog team found Brooker’s body about three miles from the head of the gorge where his abandoned car was found last Thursday.
Smith says the body was found several hundred yards off the main trail. He says had it not been for the search dog, investigators may never have found the body.
