ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The body of an Anchorage man missing since the earthquake in Japan has been found.

Twenty-six-year-old Monty Dickson was in Japan teaching English at schools when the earthquake and tsunami struck on March 11. The Anchorage Daily News says Dickson's girlfriend and two other teachers from the exchange program identified his body on Monday.
