The State Police say searchers today found the body of a 20th victim of the flash flood that tore through a campground on the Little Missouri River Friday morning.

The bodies were all found about three to four miles downstream from the Albert Pike Recreation Area campground, spokesman Bill Sadler said.

The discovery today is believed to complete the accounting for people who were known to be in the flooding and who were missing, but that depends on identification of the body found this morning. But nobody is yet ruling out the possibility that others unknown could have been camping in the area. The search will continue today and there will be an assessment this afternoon of whether to continue further.
