BODY FOUND IN HOLIDAY LAKE

BODY FOUND IN HOLIDAY LAKE

January 24, 2018

On the morning of Wednesday, the 24th of January, 2018, the Crossville Police Department, working in conjunction with members of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and the Crossville Fire Department’s dive team, were investigating the area of Holiday Lake, in an attempt to locate a missing person.

The body of an adult male was recovered from the water, at approximately 10:35 am. The identity has not been confirmed, but is believed to be that of Benjamin Heino, who was last seen at his Flamingo Drive residence on Friday 12/29/17, in Crossville, TN.

Due to the freezing temperatures and the inaccessibility to the frozen lake, search efforts have been delayed until today. Following the recovery efforts, the investigation will continue. Any further information will be released upon the receipt of a positive identification and the completed investigation.

Our appreciation goes out to the assisting agencies for their valuable experience and expertise, which led to the successful and safe completion of this search.

Please contact the Crossville Police Department at 931-484-7231 with any questions.
