Well folks, I still don't really have anything new to report on the boating accident that happened Saturday night, or the search for Keith Akridge. This afternoon David Catanese, a reporter for Springfield television station KY3, and a cameraman came by the dock looking for answers about it. We really couldn't help them because we don't really know what is going on except that the search is still on. We suggested they go to Oakland, which is where, as we understood it, is the base for the investigation. However, they came back later looking to rent a pontoon to get out to the accident site, and Josh (boat dock employee) offered to drive them. David reported live at 5:00 from the road above the launch ramp at Pontiac. Based on his report, apparently some of the other victims involved in the crash were out on the water today assisting divers and others in pinpointing the exact place where the two boats collided, perhaps to better determine where they might recover the body.
That's really all I know. Keep the family and friends of Keith Akridge, and the other victims, in your thoughts and prayers.
