The body of a 72-year-old man from North Bend, who went missing after he left his home to photograph the king tides on December 15, was found early Sunday morning in the Haynes Inlet in Coos County.

Joseph Neill, the man who disappeared while taking photographs of king tides along the Oregon coastline, has been found dead three weeks after he went missing.

Joseph Neill vanished after going to take pictures of the king tides, which surged that weekend along the Oregon coast. North Bend police, the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, the U.S. Coast Guard and a host of volunteers searched for him in the days and weeks afterward. His car was found near Jordan Point, across the bay from North Bend.
