UPDATE 2/2/12 @ 11:03 a.m.
SCIOTO COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ) -- Investigators say the body found along the shore of the Ohio River near the Scioto-Adams County line on Monday is that of a man who jumped into the river in Lawrence County, Ohio last November.

The Scioto County Sheriff says the remains of Jason Clagg, 25, of Huntington, were identified through dental records.

Sheriff Donini says Clagg’s family was notified early Thursday morning.

Clagg was last seen about 1 a.m. on November 18, 2011, near Proctorville, in Lawrence County. The Ohio Highway Patrol had just stopped a car for a traffic violation.

Troopers said the passenger in car, now identified as Clagg, jumped out and took off running, eventually jumping into the river.

A trooper jumped into the river in an attempt to rescue Clagg, but was unsuccessful due to the swift current.

Tammy Brown was taking pictures by the Ohio River in the Buena Vista area of Scioto County -- right at the end of Main Street -- when she spotted a body in the water.

"Something told me, go look at the river," Brown told WSAZ.com. "When I went to look at the river, I saw the body."

Brown said she yelled for her boyfriend, Roger Boland, as soon as she saw the body. Boland said he was afraid the current and the barges in the river would pull the body back out, so he acted fast.

"He was way out, and I hooked a fishing line on him and drug him in," Boland said.

Brown said she had a premonition that came true. "I had a nightmare a couple weeks ago a muddy river and bodies floating in it," she said, "And that's what I saw. And I will never forget what I saw."

The Scioto County Sheriff's Office says the body was sent to the Montgomery County Coroner for an autopsy and identification.

Deputies say the body may be that of a man who jumped into the Ohio River in Lawrence County, Ohio, last November to escape police. Deputies say the body was badly decomposed, but they hope to get dental records Tuesday for the person who jumped into the river to possibly match them to the body found in Buena Vista.

But while the search is over, many questions remain.

How did the man make his way into the river and why would he flee? How’s the trooper doing who went in after the man? And is the man who took off from the Ohio Highway Patrol in Proctorville the same man who went into the river? Investigators say it's likely -- but not confirmed.

“At this point with the temperature of the water we've changed this from a search and rescue to search and recovery," said Sgt. J.P. Kisor with the Ohio Highway Patrol.

With multiple search crews still in the river, troopers made the recovery decision about mid-morning Friday.

It was about 1:30 a.m. Friday when troopers say Debra Lett of Proctorville, was pulled over along the river road for running a red light. Then without warning, they say the young male passenger -- a friend of her daughters -- ran from the car and headed straight into the river.

One of the first on the scene, Trooper Josh Craft heard splashes and screams for help. Craft followed procedures and got a seat cushion from his cruiser and went in to attempt a life saving rescue.

He was in the water a long as he could stay -- was unsuccessful -- and had to return to shore. Craft was hospitalized with hypothermia. He was treated and released and is said to be fine.

Following a search in the dark, Ohio DNR and Lawrence County search boats looked up and down the Ohio -- with no luck.

The question being asked; did the man jump into the river or did he fall in down the steep bank? No one may ever know. And why did he flee?

Troopers say he was not impaired but did have an arrest warrant out for a single misdemeanor traffic violation.

And without anyone seeing the young man go in, there’s been no positive ID. So, at this time no family has been notified.

“You want to be certain if you tell somebody that there relative went into the water,” Kisor said.

The troopers say they did not even notify any family members that a passenger fled from the traffic stop.

At 2 p.m. Friday, boat crews decided to end their search.

Troopers say there are no plans to resume and no notifications will be made until -- if and when -- a body is recovered.

In all the commotion, the car's driver, Debra Lett, was given a warning for the red light violation.

The incident began about 1 a.m. Friday when troopers stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation in front of the Family Dollar Store in Proctorville,Ohio.

The trooper spoke to the driver and a passenger, but the passenger eventually jumped out of the vehicle and ran.

The trooper called for help and as officers were searching for the man they heard a call for help coming from the river.

The person was 30 to 40 feet out, and troopers say the water was so high and current was so strong, the man was swept away before they could help him.

He was also so far out, they could not positively identify whether he was the suspect from the traffic stop, although they say it is likely the same person.

One trooper did jump in the water trying to get to the man.

Trooper Josh Kraft took a took seat cushion from a patrol car used it as a flotation device.

Kraft suffered hypothermia. He was treated and released from a local hospital.

The incident began about 1 a.m. Friday when troopers stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation in front of the Family Dollar Store in Proctorville, Ohio.

The trooper spoke to the driver and a passenger, but the passenger eventually jumped out of the vehicle and ran.

The trooper called for help and the Huntington Police K9 unit came to search for the man. As they were searching, crews heard a call for help coming from the river, directly behind the Dollar General.

The person was 30 to 40 feet out, and troopers say the water was so high and current was so strong, the man was swept away before they could help him.

He was also so far out, they could not positively identify whether he was the suspect from the traffic stop, although they say it is likely the same person.

One officer tried to go into the water to help the man, but had to retreat because of the dangerous conditions.

The high water and swift current also made it difficult for rescuers to search in boats. The Huntington Fire Department's water rescue team could not deploy its boat because of those conditions. Boats from Cabell EMS and Rome Township Fire department did make it into the water, but did not locate the man. The search was eventually suspended.

It is scheduled to resume at 9 a.m. with four rescue boats searching.

Troopers say they cannot confirm whether the person in the river was the person from the traffic stop, but say it is likely.

The driver of the vehicle that was stopped was able to give troopers the name of the passenger who jumped out.

She gave troopers a statement and was released with a warning.

She told troopers she was just giving the passenger a ride.

Rescue crews from Ohio and West Virginia set up a staging area near the Proctorville Kroger.

Lawrence County 911 dispatchers tell us Proctorville fire crews launched a boat to help search for the suspect.
