Missing is a 32-year-old Waynesville man who went
kayaking with friends.Darkness and turbulent waters made the
search slow and time-consuming through the night. Efforts continued
on Sunday and yet this morning with no results.
Currently Illinois Department of Natural Resources personnel
using photography and sonar have joined in the search.
Last seen north of the Polecat bridge, the kayaker moved ahead of
his group. When friends stopped and took to the bank, their friend
was nowhere in sight.
Emergency responders found the kayak late last evening just past
the bridge, wedged into a large logjam on the creek.
DNR as well as Logan County EMA continue to search for the man.
Local fire departments have lent assistance also.
