HELENA - Lewis and Clark County officials say a body has been found in a creek in East Helena and is most likely that of a 30-year-old man who had been missing for two months.

Sheriff Leo Dutton says a cell phone and wallet found on the body belonged to Darrel Dullum, who was last seen leaving an East Helena bar early on Dec. 5.

The body was found about two blocks from the bar and about 20 feet away from where Dullum's hat was found a week after he went missing.

Dutton says an autopsy is planned to confirm the identification and cause of death.
