A cadaver dog capable of detecting a body under water has been brought in to aid in the search for a missing Indiana man presumed dead after a boating accident last week on the Ohio River.Crittenden County Sheriff's Deputy Greg Rushing said the weeklong search for 45-year-old Daniel David Rust near Dam 50 Recreational Area has yet to yield any results despite visual and underwater searches with sonar and cameras.
"We're doing everything we can," Rushing said this morning.
Rust has been missing since April 8 when a 12-foot john boat he and friend Patrick May were fishing from capsized and sank after striking something in the water around 9 p.m. May was able to swim to safety about four miles downstream and has been released from the hospital where he was treated for exhaustion and hypothermia.
Rushing said Rust's body will likely remain submerged for a couple of more weeks in the frigid 45- to 50-degree waters of the Ohio River. For the complete story, see this week's issue of The Crittenden Press available in stores this afternoon.
