WASHINGTON (Reuter) - A body was found Monday in the area where former CIA Director William Colby went missing after going canoeing on April 27, Maryland Department of Natural Resources police said. There was no immediate confirmation that the body was that of Colby, a spokeswoman said. ``Yes, a body was found,'' she said. The search had been under way in the area of Colby's weekend home at Cobb Neck in southern Maryland on a tributary of the Potomac River. Colby, who served as director of the CIA in the 1970s, was reported missing after his swamped canoe was found and he had not returned to his home. A CNN producer reported that a male body was found washed up on the shore of the Wicomico River about 20 yards from where the canoe was found. While there was no immediate identification of the body, CNN said ``officials have confirmed it was a male body and they say everything fits -- it looks like Colby.'' His disappearance had touched off an air and water search that included divers and specially trained dogs but the probe turned up no sign of a body in the cold, murky waters.
