Nearly two weeks after two ice anglers went missing on Lake Benton in southwestern Minnesota, search crews recovered the body of a missing man on Saturday. The other victim was found dead a week ago.

The Associated Press reports the body of 54-year-old Bradley Allen Lund was recovered Saturday afternoon. Search teams brought the body to shore where he was identified, KSFY reports.

"Mission accomplished," was the status posted on the Lake Benton Police Department Facebook page.

Lund and his girlfriend Brianna Thooft, 29, were reported missing on Sunday, Feb. 1, after they didn't return from a fishing trip to the lake.

Police began searching and located their vehicle the next day at the bottom of the lake. Authorities believe it broke through the ice near the Norwegian Creek Campground, the Argus Leader reports.

Crews recovered Thooft's body a week ago on Saturday, Feb. 7.

Search teams recovered the body of a southern Minnesota teen from Lake Elysian Saturday, KEYC reports. The high school football player went missing after the boat he was in with four friends capsized around 6 a.m. as the group was duck hunting. A senior at Waterville-Elysian-Morristown high school, Brady Hruska was the only one that didn't make it back to shore.

Search crews recovered the body of an 18-year-old man from the St. Croix River around 11:45 p.m. Monday, hours after friends saw him disappear under the surface. Friends of the victim tell Hudson police the Lake Elmo teen was trying to swim from the Hudson dike to the Minnesota side of the river.
