Wis. Fisherman Missing In Mississippi River
DRESBACH, Minn. (AP) — Search and rescue crews are looking in the Mississippi River for a missing boater near Lock and Dam 7 in Dresbach in southeastern Minnesota.
Winona County Sheriff Dave Brand says they're looking for a 27-year-old from Onalaska, Wisconsin.
Brand says the man went fishing around 11 p.m. Saturday. WXOW-TV reports the victim's family told the sheriff he liked to go out fishing late at night.
The sheriff says it appears the boat hit a gate on the dam and sank. The boat was found Sunday about three-fourths of a mile downstream. The man's life jacket and a boat motor were found near the gate.
The victim's name was not immediately released.
