Searchers from two states have been looking for an Iowa man who was reported missing while he was on the Mississippi River.
The Grant County Sheriff’s Office says it received a report Wednesday at about 5:30 p.m.
The caller said 51-year-old Alan Hartig of Dubuque was wading in shallow water with his pontoon boat beached on a sand bar when the boat came free and started to drift with the current.
Hartig was last seen trying to stop the boat.
Authorities recovered the pontoon but it was empty.
