LAKE BENTON - Crews searching for the body of Bradley Allen Lund were unable to locate his body Sunday due to difficult weather conditions.

According to a press release, weather conditions were poor and freezing rain put a damper on the search. The St. Louis County Water Operations Personnel, Lake Benton Police Department and Lincoln County Sheriff's Office were actively searching the area.

Lund, 54, and his girlfriend, Brianna Jean Thooft, 29, disappeared Feb. 1, after their car went through the ice after an ice fishing trip. Thooft’s body was recovered Saturday afternoon, according to the sheriff's department.

The sheriff’s office will scale down the active search to visual inspection of the area around the lake and other water operation units will be contacted in the near future.

Lake Benton will continue to remain closed until further notice.
