One boy's body was found this morning around 11:00 AM, about 1.5 miles from the command post set up for the search. It's where the boys are thought to have entered the water.
Here's the story from Cincinnati CBS affiliate WKRC-TV 12.
A body found this morning near Smith's Landing in Brown County has been identified as 8 year-old Blake Devercelly.
Rescue crews recovered his body around 11:00 am in their search for two missing brothers along a rain swollen Bullskin Creek.
They were last seen heading down to check out the rising water in Brown County's Lewis Township Wednesday afternoon.
We're told the boys, 8 year-old Blake Devercelly and 11 year-old Justin Devercelly, went out to watch the creek rising, and that is the last time they were seen.
After resuming the search this morning, one body was found around 11:00 am about 1 1/2 miles from where the children disappeared.
The search continues for Justin.
Rescue workers searched by land and air for six hours Wednesday evening, but could not locate the boys.
The boys vanished near the creek along Dunbar Road. That's the south west portion of the county very near the Clermont County line. The boys are from Felicity, and were at their babysitter's house when they went to watch the rising creek.
Local 12 is at the search area and will closely monitor any new information on the rescue effort.
