JUNEAU, Alaska — Video from a GoPro camera belonging to a missing kayaker confirmed the man drowned in an Alaskan lake, but authorities still have not located the man's body. A news release from Alaska State Troopers says authorities are still searching for Paul Rodriguez Jr., 43, of Juneau, who was reported missing to Juneau police on Sunday. Rodriguez's kayak, which had no identifying markings, was found last week on Mendenhall Lake near the Mendenhall Glacier. During a search Monday by Alaska Wildlife Troopers, Juneau Mountain Rescue and SEADOGS, a resident found a helmet with a GoPro camera attached, troopers say.
