Bodies Found in Ohio River Linked to Abandoned Boats Across Multiple States

Two bodies were found in the Ohio River recently in separate incidents. In Meigs County, Ohio, a fisherman discovered a body near the Racine boat ramp, and authorities are awaiting confirmation from the state Medical Examiner on the identity, which may match a recently reported missing man. Meanwhile, in Henderson, Kentucky, a body was found near the Dogtown Boat Ramp following the report of an empty boat floating on the river containing personal items such as a wallet and phone. Vanderburgh County authorities are investigating the incident, with family members confirming they had not heard from the boat's owner. Both cases remain under investigation as officials continue their efforts to collect more information and updates. River authorities have urged the public to avoid the search areas due to ongoing operations.
