USCG, Good Samaritans Rescue 5, Searching For 1 In Lake Michigan

The Coast Guard and two good Samaritan boaters rescued five boaters, Saturday evening, from southern Lake Michigan, but are still searching for one missing person. The names of the boaters rescued and the missing person are not being released by the Coast Guard, and there is no Coast Guard imagery for this case. At about 6:30 p.m., a rescue crew aboard a 45-foot response boat from Coast Guard Station Michigan City, Indiana, responded to a report from La Porte, Indiana, 911 dispatch of six people in distress one and a half miles off the shore of the Michigan City Lighthouse. Upon arriving at the scene, the rescue crew pulled three adults out of the water and good Samaritan boaters on-scene pulled two more people out of the water.
