The body of an Overland Park man who was reported missing last week has been found in Missouri.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says 66-year-old David Lee Dotson was found dead Wednesday afternoon in a car in rural Bates County, Mo.

A Silver Alert was issued for Dotson last Thursday after he left his home and didn't return.

A man who noticed the car parked for several days found the body in a field outside Amsterdam, Mo., about 40 miles south of Overland Park.

Overland Park police said foul play is not suspected. His family said Dotson was an insulin-dependent diabetic.
