Sadly, it appears this story will have a tragic ending. On Friday, sources were reporting that authorities had recovered what they believed to be the body of Lucas Dudden from a lake in Aikin County.

Lucas Dudden appeared to love nature and he appeared to have a knack for photography. He made a post on his Facebook page on October 22, featuring a beautiful outdoor picture that he appeared to have taken that morning. Based on his comments on that post, he took the picture near Minnesota's Jay Cooke State Park.

Dudden's last comment to a friend who had complimented the photo read, "All is well, just trying to figure this thing we call life. Take care brother." That was his last post.
