FISH CREEK (NBC 26) — A three-year-old and five-year-old have been found dead Monday after the boat they were on over the weekend capsized, says the Door County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities say they are still searching for the 32-year-old man reported to have been on the boat with the children Saturday morning. According to the Brown County Emergency Management, the missing man is Bill Salnik and he is the father of the children.
The Sheriff's Office say there is a possibility the man could still be found alive and there are plans in place to search through the night.
Earlier monday morning, the U.S. Coast Guard Station Sturgeon Bay said they located a missing boat just south of Chambers Island. The boat was then towed to Fish Creek.
The Oconto County Sheriff's Office said on Friday, July 12, they were notified that a man from Little Suamico was boating with his two young children, both under the age of 10, and did not make it back to his planned destination.
The sheriff's office said no one had been able to contact him since Saturday, July 13.
The Sheriff's Office said the man and children were reportedly last seen on Green Island in the Bay of Green Bay.
