ST. PAUL — A body recovered from the Mississippi River is that of a 52-year-old man missing for weeks, not the man who ran toward a river bluff after officers pulled him over in an SUV.

Crews searched by boat and by air Monday for the man who abandoned the vehicle, ran away and disappeared into some woods.

But the medical examiner says Tuesday that the body they found was that of Jeffrey Asfahl of Ramsey, who was reported missing May 3. His vehicle was found that day on the Interstate 35W bridge over the river in Minneapolis. The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports drowning is listed as his probable cause of death.

St. Paul police are still investigating the whereabouts of the man who ran from officers Monday afternoon.
