Sergeant Scott McDonald of the Marshall Police Department announced Tuesday afternoon that the body found submerged in Rice Creek last Saturday afternoon was that of Courtney Cook, the Marshall woman missing since Jan. 19. A person kayaking in the creek last Saturday spotted what they felt was a human body in the water and notified authorities. The Calhoun County Sheriff's Department Dive Team responded to the scene and made a recovery of the body. Cook had last been seen in the early morning hours of Jan. 19, about 1/2 mile from Rice Creek. The investigation into Cook's death continues, pending the result of an autopsy, but McDonald does not suspect foul play.
