Missing hunters' bodies discovered

The bodies of two missing teenage duck hunters were discovered in Kentucky Lake Tuesday evening.

McKenzie Stanley, 18, and Jacob Scott, 17, had been missing since Jan. 10 when the boat in which they were hunting from sank during a storm. A third hunter, Trevor Williams, 18, also died but his body was soon discovered in the cold waters of the lake. A fourth hunter, Tyler Heathcott, survived the accident.

The first of the two missing teens was discovered around 4:30 p.m., Tuesday. The second around dusk at 6 p.m.

Marshall County Coroner Mitchell Lee confirmed the discovery to The Paducah Sun.
