(AP) -- Authorities on Saturday made arrests in the death of a Dickinson man who had been missing for about a week and a half.
Dunn County State's Attorney Ross Sundeen declined to release details, saying the investigation was ongoing and more arrests were possible in the death of Neal Matejovsky, 49.
An autopsy was scheduled Monday in Bismarck on the body found Friday in Dunn County. Dunn County Sheriff Larry Boepple said it appeared Matejovsky had been shot.
Stark County Sheriff Clarence Tuhy said authorities used a helicopter to search for Matejovsky after getting a tip. The body was found in a snowy field about eight miles east of state Highway 22, about a mile away from the Dunn County-Stark County border.
Authorities did not know how long the body had been there before it was discovered.

Tuhy said a social worker had reported Matejovsky missing about 10 days earlier, when the man did not show up to pick up a check.
Jaden Bear and Daniel Keidatz, Matejovsky's friends, said they had not heard from him in some time.
"It's not like him to just disappear," Keidatz said.
