The body of Eric Kophs, the Cherry Creek School District official missing since a rafting trip June 20, was found Wednesday several miles downstream in the Colorado River. A rafting guide found the body of Kophs, 42, about noon on an island that had been submerged until the past few days, according to the Grand County Sheriff's Office. Kophs had been fishing and rafting with a friend when he fell into the river in the Needle's Eye Rapids south of Kremmling.
Kophs was the director of elementary education for the Cherry Creek district.
