Coast Guard Unable To Locate Sunken Tugboat, Missing Crew Members

Following 43 hours of scouring the Mississippi River, the U.S. Coast Guard has suspended the search for two men missing from a tugboat that capsized near Chalmette, Coast Guard officials said Tuesday night (March 13). The tugboat sank about 9:45 a.m. Monday, prompting a search that encompassed about 101 square nautical miles--but that ultimately "found no signs" of the missing men, according to officials. Tuesday afternoon, the Coast Guard identified those missing as Malon Dawsey and Karl Prince, who were among three men aboard the Natalie Jean when the vessel capsized.
