They vowed to bring their brother home.

And, after five long days of searching the relentless Niagara River, the body of missing Buffalo Police diver Craig E. Lehner was finally found. Police made an official announcement just after 3 p.m. Tuesday.

A procession began an hour later to bring his body from the foot of Porter Avenue to Erie County Medical Center. Police, firefighters and citizens lined the 7-mile route along the Niagara Thruway, Scajaquada Expressway and Kensington Expressway to pay their respects. Buffalo firefighters at the traffic circle on Porter Avenue saluted as the procession passed.
