Heartbreaking News💔
So Many Thoughts & Prayers for his Wonderful Family & All his Friends.

BREAKING:

**BODY RECOVERED FROM CLEARWATER LAKE**

The body of a 32-year-old Piedmont man was recovered Tuesday afternoon following a three-day search on Clearwater Lake.

Public Information Officer Sgt. Thomas Young with the Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop G tells KWOC News, the recovery took place shortly after 1 pm in the Webb Creek Marina area. The victim's family has been notified.

Authorities say the search began Sunday afternoon after reports that a man had fallen from a pontoon boat in the area between Clearwater Lake Marina and Webb Creek.

Initial reports indicated the man was wearing a life jacket. However, investigators later determined that he was not wearing one at the time he entered the water.

KWOC News extends its thoughts and prayers to the family and friends affected by this tragic incident.

Keep the family in your payers !!!!!

‼️ Update: With heavy hearts, we share that Joshua Hill has been found.

This is not the outcome that his family, friends, search teams, and community were hoping and praying for. Our thoughts are with Joshua’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time as they navigate an unimaginable loss.

🚨 JOSH HILL- MISSING BOATER🚨

The Rescue Squad is asking for the public’s help as the search continues for Josh Hill, who went missing on Lake Clearwater in Missouri on Sunday, June 14, 2026.

Our Midwest team is assisting in the search for missing boater Joshua Hill. Please keep his family, loved ones, first responders, and all search personnel in your prayers as our team continues searching.

Josh was last seen wearing bright pink swim shorts with a banana pattern, pictured below. His v**e and glasses were left on the bottom deck of the boat. One of the last known photos of him was taken between approximately 1:30 PM and 1:45 PM that afternoon.

A 911 call was placed around 2:15 PM after Josh was assumed to have fallen from one of the pontoon boats.

Based on photos taken that day, there were two rented pontoon boats on the lake with 16+ people present. According to Life360 location data from one of the passengers aboard Josh’s boat, the group was believed to be near the inlet area of the lake when he disappeared.

Josh has not been seen since.

We are asking anyone who was on Lake Clearwater that afternoon to check their phones, cameras, GoPros, drones, or social media for any photos or videos that may have captured Josh, the boats, or the area where he went missing. Even seemingly insignificant information could help investigators establish a timeline and search area.

Every share matters. Someone may have information and not realize it.
