Authorities say the body of an 89-year-old man missing since late November has been found alongside his burned-out car.

Russell Kilen of Stanley was last seen leaving a store after getting a pizza.

Mountrail County Sheriff Ken Halvorson said Kilen's body was found Saturday near Corinth, in northern Williams County, about 65 miles northwest of Kilen's home.

Halvorson said two men working in the area found Kilen's body when they went to check on a burned-out car. The sheriff said there were no signs of a crime.

Halvorson said Kilen's car got hung up on a dirt ridge on a prairie trail. He said it appears the car caught fire and Kilen got out, but later died of exposure.
