{Pinch, West Virginia}...Wednesday night, Pinch Volunteer Fire Department dive crews recovered the body of 48 year old Rex Edward Hughes from the Elk River along Walgrove Road in the Pinch area of Kanawha County. The missing man's friend, Jeff Sherrick says, when he discovered his buddy's personal items laying on the edge of the Elk River, he knew something was wrong so he called family and friends, but nobody knew where he was. Sherrick says the last time anybody saw his friend was between 6:30 and 7:00 P.M. Tuesday night. The body was discovered down river from the spot where he was last seen.
