Late-night search for man missing in lake

Emergency officials were called to Emerson Park Thursday night, after witnesses reported a boat sinking and one man missing.

Emergency workers with bright lights used several boats and a helicopter to search Owasco Lake. Police and fire department workers established a staging area near Emerson Park in Owasco about 9 p.m. and continued searching the water late into the night and early Friday morning.
