(BENTON, KY, FEBRUARY 28, 2020) The search for the missing drowning victim will continue over the weekend. This will be the final days for the search effort until water levels recede.

A Notice to Airmen has been issued as drones will be flying over the area. Hydratrek will be bringing amphibious vehicles to be utilized in the search. These specialized vehicles float in water, much like a boat, but also have land capability which will allow the volunteers to access deep muddy areas that have not yet been searched.
