THE BODY OF A FORMER SIOUX CITY RESIDENT WHO HAD BEEN MISSING SINCE SUNDAY HAS BEEN FOUND IN LEBANON.

JOHN REDWINE'S BODY WAS DISCOVERED IN A RAVINE IN A MOUNTAINOUS AREA OF LEBANON.

HE IS THE SON OF FORMER STATE SENATOR DR. JOHN REDWINE, ALSO A FORMER SIOUX CITYAN, WHO NOW LIVES IN ARKANSAS.

A STATEMENT FROM DR. REDWINE SAYS HIS SON DIED WHILE MOUNTAIN CLIMBING, WHICH WAS WHAT HE LOVED TO DO.

A HELICOPTER WAS USED TO REACH THE AREA WHERE HIS BODY WAS FOUND. REDWINE WAS MARRIED WITH A TWO MONTH OLD SON.

HE AND HIS WIFE IRINA WERE EMPLOYED BY A COMPANY THAT DOES WORK FOR THE UNITED NATIONS IN LEBANON.

Two Cherokee men have pleaded guilty in Sioux City to federal charges of child pornography possession.

A news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Iowa says 23-year-old Donald Coffey and 26-year-old Justin Slattery each pleaded guilty last week to a single count.

The release says that in plea deals with prosecutors, Coffey agreed to 12 years in prison and Slattery agreed to seven years.

A sentencing date has not been set.

A FORMER SIOUX CITY RESIDENT IS MISSING IN THE NATION OF LEBANON.

JOHN REDWINE DISAPPEARED SUNDAY MORNING AFTER HE WENT ICE CLIMBING IN THE MOUNTAINS.

HIS FATHER, DOCTOR JOHN REDWINE, RELEASED A STATEMENT ON FACEBOOK SAYING HIS SON'S CLIMBING GEAR AND CAR ARE ALSO MISSING.

THE YOUNGER REDWINE AND HIS WIFE IRINA WORK FOR THE UNITED NATIONS IN BERUIT.

SHE HAS NOTIFIED THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT ABOUT HIS DISAPPEARANCE, BUT DOES NOT BELIEVE HE HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED.

THE LEBANESE ARMY AND LOCAL POLICE ARE SEARCHING FOR REDWINE, ALONG WITH A GROUP OF HIS CLIMBING FRIENDS.
