An Object Found in 160 Feet of Water May Be the Missing Vessel

Local fishermen also joined the search on Sunday and located an object that might be a vessel in 160 feet of water near Moose Cove, at the mouth of the Moose River. The U.S. Coast Guard halted the fishermen's efforts to recover the boat on Sunday due to safety concerns, but the fishermen will resume that effort today. In addition to their search efforts, Marine Patrol Officials will be on-scene at the recovery site to provide support.
