Authorities on Sunday had been searching for two men and a woman who were still missing after flooding and a mudslide Tuesday destroyed six houses on Black Hollow Road, which is located just a couple of miles west of Rustic in the canyon, northwest of Fort Collins.

As per the Denver Post, search crews worked to recover the man’s body on Sunday evening, Larimer County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Jered Kramer said.

Kramer did not say whether the man was one of the three people known to be missing as a result of the severe Poudre Canyon flooding.

Last week, search crews confirmed that they had recovered the body of an adult woman who was also killed during the Poudre Canyon flooding; crews recovered the woman's body during search and rescue efforts on Wednesday, July 21. The deceased woman’s identity has not yet been released, and authorities did not release information regarding where she was in the canyon when the floods hit.

Dozens of volunteers and partner agencies have assisted in the search for the three missing individuals since last Tuesday evening (July 20); as per LCSO's latest update, with evident and planned areas well searched, search teams will not be fielded again unless new information presents a need.
