Raleigh police identify body found in Lake Johnson as missing man

Raleigh police identified the body found in Lake Johnson Saturday as 31-year-old Ma Kpa, who was reported missing on Nov. 20.

Crews recovered the body around 4:45 p.m. in a multi-agency effort in Raleigh.

Authorities said the ongoing investigation is not considered suspicious.

It took dive crews around one hour to recover the body.

The Raleigh Police Department, Raleigh Fire Department, Wake County EMS, Apex Fire Department Dive Team, and the Raleigh and Wake City-County Bureau of Identification assisted in the recovery.

Because of Saturday's nice weather, the area was bustling with people during the recovery.

"It's kind of scary," Kenan Demir said. "This is a family place. Everybody brings their children and dogs and to get exercise. To see a body in the water is scary."
