Police said 66-year-old Edward Gebhardt, of Marlborough, was found dead in the Connecticut River on Friday and his family has been notified.
The search for him started when officers responded to Great Meadow Road, leading into the meadows, around 5:49 p.m. on Sept. 9, after someone reported that a vehicle was parked close to the gate and they found an unlocked black BMW registered to Gebhardt with no one inside.
Police said they contacted one of his family members and learned that Gebhardt was last seen on Sunday, Sept. 8.
