Search effort scaled back for man missing in Snake River

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Idaho -- The Washington County Sheriff's Office is scaling back the search of a man still missing after a boating accident on the Snake River.
Deputies say at about 10:30 p.m. Friday, three men and a 2-year-old went fishing in a 14-foot aluminum boat. They anchored the boat, but that anchor became caught on something. The front of the boat was sucked into the water.
"It filled the boat up with water, which, in turn, sunk the boat. Right now, the water's actually lower. It's so low that it's moving really fast. And there's an undertow in this Snake River. It's just, it didn't give them a chance," said Washington County Chief Deputy Matt Thomas.

A boating accident on Tustumena Lake claimed the lives of two people late Friday night. Ashley Udelhoven, 47, and Katarina Anderson, 16, both of Kenai, were found dead Saturday night during a search of the lake after authorities had received word there was boating debris in the water, according to Alaska State Troopers Information Officer Beth Ipsen.
There were three survivors: Hanna Udelhoven, 13, and Miranda Udelhoven, 15, both of Soldotna; and their friend, Athena Robinson, 12, of Sterling.
Authorities said Ashley Udelhoven, along with his two daughters and their two friends, headed out Friday about 9:30 p.m. for an outing. The waters were calm until their 18-foot aluminum boat reached halfway across the lake. The winds started picking up and the boat was swamped and sank about two miles from shore, according to Ipsen.
