An Oshkosh area woman says she fears her husband may have gone sleepwalking and drowned in the Fox River.
Cherie Merkes says her 55-year-old husband, Michael Merkes, had been feeling tired and sick before he disappeared Saturday. She says he took a prescription sleep aid Friday night and they agreed he would go to a walk-in clinic Saturday if he did not feel better.
Instead, she woke Saturday to find him missing from their home in the town of Black Wolf. Police found his car near the Fox River about 12:30 p.m. Saturday.
Cherie Merkes says she believes her husband drove there in his sleep and walked into the river.
The Winnebago County Sheriff's Department and Oshkosh Police Department are still searching for Michael Merkes.
