The body of a Texas soldier missing since he evidently drove his car off a pier the day after Christmas was found along a shoreline Saturday morning.
Aransas County Sheriff Bill Mills said his office received a call just after 9 a.m. and recovered the body of Jamie Wagner Sengvanhpheng from Copano Bay near Corpus Christi and a few miles inland from the Texas Gulf Coast.
Mills said the family was notified and the body was turned over to the Corpus Christi medical examiner for an autopsy.
He said he would have no other details before receiving the coroner's report.
The 21-year-old soldier was home on leave from Fort Bragg, N.C., and visiting family in Rockport, about 30 miles north of Corpus Christi when he disappeared after hanging out with friends at a bar late Christmas night.
His car was found submerged in Copano Bay on Dec. 26, but Sengvanhpheng was not inside.
He had driven off the 1 1/4-mile Copano Bay Fishing Pier, crashing through two barricades before reaching the water.
