WILMINGTON, Del. -- Delaware State Police have positively identified a body pulled from the Delaware River as the missing father of Orlando Magic star Jameer Nelson.
Fifty-seven-year-old Floyd "Pete" Nelson, a welder at a tugboat company, was last seen Thursday working in a dry dock area in the Philadelphia suburb of Chester, Pa. Divers and trained dogs searched the river all day Friday but the search was suspended around 4 p.m.
