Body of missing boater Bill Salnik recovered

The missing body of Bill Salnik, a missing sailboater for nearly six weeks, has been found.  According to the  Marinette County Sheriff’s Office, shortly after noon Saturday, a boater had reported finding a possible body near Green Island in the bay of Green Bay.  The Marinette County Sheriff’s Department says, “Upon arrival at the location, the body was located, recovered, and later identified as missing boater Bill Salnik, who had gone missing in July of this year.  The incident remains under investigation by the Marinette County Medical Examiner's Office and the Marinette County Sheriff’s Office”.  The 32-year-old Salnik and his two children went sailing on July 13 and never made it back to a marina south of Oconto.  Two days later, the sailboat was found in the waters of Door County near Chamber’s Island, and Salnik’s two children’s bodies were recovered later that day.
