Narrative:
A CRJ700 was on 1 mile final runway 13 cleared to land when I began my final scan. It was hazy so I waited until I could see the aircraft to double check the gear position. I did my final scan of the runway when I saw a BE35 just north of the centerline on runway 13. I issued the 'go around' instruction to the CRJ700 estimated of 1/4 mile final. I then instructed the CRJ700 to climb to 3000 feet and contact departure. It is my understanding that the ground controller was under the impression the BE35 was at the south ramp and they were instead at the east ramp.
