Searchers trolling Strawberry Reservoir recovered a body Friday, but it was not one of two Orem residents for whom they had been conducting a search.

After three days of searching the water for Steven and Catheryn Roundy, who are presumed drowned after their fishing boat capsized Wednesday, investigators came across the body of a person believed to have been missing since 2001.

The body, found about 6:40 p.m., was taken to the medical examiner's office for identification.

The search for the Roundys was called off due to extremely cold temperatures. It will resume today, weather permitting.
