Authorities said they believe they have found the body of a Sterling Heights kayaker who had been missing since a planned excursion Thursday in the Clinton River. The body was discovered after a citizen located a kayak about 5 p.m. today that fit the description of the one used by Oliver Dixon III, 47. The kayak was in a logjam between the River Bends Park canoe launch and Heritage Park in Utica, Shelby Township police said. Authorities found and recovered a male body near the blue and white kayak. Identification is pending, but the body is believed to be that of Dixon, police said. The body was found east of Auburn Road, north of M-59 and south of 21 Mile Road. No foul play is suspected at this time, Sgt. Robert Trupiano said. The kayak and body were found in an area being searched by numerous law enforcement agencies. Investigators did not know exactly where Dixon planned to kayak. They suspected his trip was to originate at the River Bends Park boat launch on Ryan south of 22 Mile in Shelby Township and continue downriver to Heritage Park on Van Dyke south of Hall Road, Sgt. Scott Trumbo said Sunday. “His car was parked at the boat launch and his bike was found at Heritage Park,” Trumbo said. Investigators were called to Dixon’s abandoned car at 1:30 p.m. Saturday. Trumbo said the picture issued by the police department was taken by Dixon of himself at Heritage Park and posted to Facebook at 3:30 p.m. Thursday. No one had heard from him since. Two Shelby Township firefighters kayaked a stretch of the river Saturday but did not see any sign of Dixon or the kayak. The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office searched the area by boat and plane. Anyone with information is asked to call the Shelby Township Police Department at 586-731-2121, ext. 3. http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2013306160118
