The search for Justin Hunter

Search teams combed an area just outside Kinkora on Thursday for signs of 32-year-old Justin Hunter. The Kinkora resident’s car was found overturned in a ditch the previous evening. Tragically, Hunter’s body was recovered about 500 metres away from his vehicle at about 2:30 p.m. on Thursday. All photos by Colin MacLean/Journal Pioneer
