Caddo/Bossier Parish (KTBS) -

According to Caddo Sheriff Deputy, Cindy Chadwick, authorities have found a body in the Red River.

The body was found just before 9 o'clock Thursday a little north of the Boomtown Casino on the Shreveport side of the river.

Authorities have yet to identify the body, but they do believe it is the same person who fell into the Red River two weeks ago.

Back on February 7, 2013, rescue crews from both sides of the Red River searched for a man who witnesses say fell into the water from a train trestle between Shreveport and Bossier City. Sources say the train conductor told investigators he hit one person who was walking in the middle of the bridge near downtown Shreveport but Caddo Parish Deputies still aren't sure if the man was actually hit by the train or not.
