A Watertown man, Richard Allen Johnson, 59, was reported missing from his home Monday morning, according to Carver County Sheriff Bud Olson.  He was later found Tuesday deceased in the Crow River at about 7:45 p.m.

Just prior, Johnson, who lives on Riverside Terrace in Watertown, was visiting relatives in the Virginia, Minn. He left Hibbing early Saturday morning, June 21, and his pickup was observed parked in his driveway by neighbors in Watertown at around 9 a.m. that morning. No one saw Johnson since he returned to Watertown and his whereabouts were not unknown. The search has intensified since he failed to show up for work on Monday morning.
