HANLONTOWN — A Mason City man remains missing after falling out of a boat into the Winnebago River near Hanlontown Friday afternoon.
The Worth County Sheriff’s Department says 43-year-old Adam VanSyoc (VAN CY-ock) was fishing when the boat he was in struck cables from an old footbridge, causing him to enter the water.
Search efforts started shortly after law enforcement’s arrival on Friday afternoon and have been taking place all weekend, but have been hampered by the swiftly-moving waters of the river, which is at a high level.
Recovery efforts will continue today with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources assisting in monitoring the river.
