Missing Iowa man located safe
Following an exhaustive search starting at around 8 p.m. on Friday, June 28, the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office announced the safe discovery of 56-year-old Mark Kloser, of Earlville, Iowa.
Kloser walked from a family home near Edgewood, Iowa, at around 5 p.m. and was not immediately located by family. Search efforts lasted until around 3 a.m. on June 29, and resumed at around 6 a.m. Kloser was safely located at his home shortly after 2 p.m.
Although the missing person investigation started in Clayton County, the search expanded into Delaware County, where the departments were assisted by countless agencies. The efforts of every agency and person involved assisted in the positive outcome and, according to Sheriff Mike Tschirgi, their action “is a true testament of the dedication of area emergency services personnel.”
