Pfc. Joseph Anzack found shot

Anzack's family in Torrance was notified by the Army that his body had been found floating in the Euphrates river near Baghdad. The 20-year-old was one of three soldiers who have been the subject of an intensive search since they vanished after an May 12 ambush. Just a month ago, false rumors that Anzack had been killed in Iraq swept Torrance. South High School, where Anzack played football, even posted a testimonial on the school's marquee, but Anzack placed a call home to reassure his family that he was safe. AP, CBS 2
