A body found Friday in the Colorado River is believed to be that of a New Mexico man who went into the waterway on a homemade raft with his dog last month, officials said. The Coconino County Medical Examiner will confirm the identity and whether the body is that of Thomas Robison, 58, of Santa Fe, the National Park Service said in a statement Monday.
His 2001 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck was found abandoned at Lees Ferry in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, which is northeast of Grand Canyon National Park, on April 21, the park said. The ferry is where some Grand Canyon rafters launch their trips. Robison's information and photos were distributed in the hopes of finding him. An investigation remains underway in the case, the park service said.
