Body of missing Bel Air business owner found at Conowingo Dam

[RalR]

Nearly two months after Scott Hammer's wife reported him missing and a vehicle registered to them was abandoned near the Conowingo Dam, police said his body was found in the Susquehanna River

Maryland State Police said that just before 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, workers at the Conowingo Dam reported seeing a body on a rock when the water level subsided.

Since the area was not accessible by foot or by boat, a Maryland State Police helicopter flew in and lowered two flight paramedics with a rescue basket down to the body, according to police.

A benefit is planned for the family of a Bel Air record store owner and Dagger music columnist missing since last week, with the local music community rallying in his memory.

A two-day musical benefit to support the family of Scott R. Hammer, 57, of Havre de Grace is set for Feb. 2 and Feb. 3 at Longshots Bar & Grill on Route 7 in Abingdon, featuring more than 40 local band and artists. Details are available at the event’s official Facebook page.

Hammer was the owner of CODA Records in downtown Bel Air, the music columnist for The Dagger since last summer, and a longtime supporter of the local music scene.

Sounds like a nice guy.
Online court records indicate that there were money problems.
Sad. Tough time to run a small business.

I hope that being able to lay him to rest will help ease his family's pain.
