PORT CLINTON, Ohio (AP) — A state agency plans to continue
searching western Lake Erie for two boaters who disappeared days ago
with two others whose bodies have been recovered.
The Port Clinton News-Herald (http://ohne.ws/1nglq98 ) reports a local supervisor
with the Department of Natural Resources’
watercraft division said it would search Saturday for the missing men,
who are presumed dead. Authorities don’t think they could have survived
days in frigid waters.
The Ottawa County sheriff’s office and the U.S. Coast Guard have ended their search efforts.
Searchers
found a partially submerged boat Thursday on a reef near the
Davis-Besse nuclear power plant east of Toledo and later spotted the
bodies of two females wearing life jackets.
The sheriff’s office
identified them as 33-year-old Amy Santus of Perrysburg and 16-year-old
Paige Widmer of Leesville, South Carolina.
