Body Found As Crews Drain Lake at Percy Quinn



by Chris Davis
McCOMB, Miss.--Missing teen Leslie Allen was the ID on a body found Thursday as crews drained Lake Tangipahoa to relieve pressure on the dam at Percy Quinn State Park.

WAPT reports the 18-year-old had been missing since Sept. 5. She was listed as a runaway.

Pike County Coroner Percy Pittman said no foul play was suspected.

Crews have been using large pumps to move water out of the lake and into a diversion canal. The earthen dam was damaged as Hurricane Isaac dumped large amounts of rain on southwest Mississippi.
