Riverhead police say they have found the body of an 18-year-old kayaker who went missing Saturday.
They say they were called out to search for Raistlin Ruther Saturday afternoon after he failed to return from a kayak trip in the Great Peconic Bay.
Several police and fire departments joined the search.
The Coast Guard first located a capsized kayak.
About an hour after the discovery, Ruther’s body was found in the waters off Hampton Bays.
