Funeral to be held Wednesday for missing Missouri state trooper

The memorial service for a Missouri Highway Patrol trooper swept away in floodwaters over the summer will be held Wednesday morning.

Fred Guthrie and his Patrol K-9 Reed were monitoring high water near Big Lake, Mo., on Aug. 1 when they disappeared.

Reed’s body was found the next day. Guthrie’s body was never found, but he was declared legally dead on Sept. 28.

Guthrie’s funeral will be at 11 a.m. at Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, 1600 N. Missouri Highway 291 in Liberty.

The family has requested memorials be sent to The MASTERS (Missouri Association of State Troopers Emergency Relief Society), 5287 Highway 67 North, Poplar Bluff, Missouri 63901.
