Search for Lake Michigan missing boaters turns to recovery mission
SUMMARY
The search for two missing boaters in Lake Michigan, which began on July 5th, 2024, has now shifted to a recovery mission. The incident occurred off Whiting, northwest Indiana, on July 5, when two men went missing while swimming from a boat. One man initially jumped into the water and struggled, prompting a second man to attempt a rescue. Despite efforts, both men became separated from the boat due to strong winds and high waves. One individual wearing a life jacket was rescued later that day, treated for mild hypothermia, and released from the hospital. Recovery efforts resumed on July 6th and continue with the aid of sonar equipment, despite challenging weather conditions.
