Six feared aboard 40 foot cruiser in Cape Fear River search
A coast to coast search began for six people including three preschool children after a 40 foot cabin cruiser named The Kork was found overturned on the Cape Fear River at Elizabethtown. The party, from Fayetteville, left early Sunday morning and authorities theorize loss of power led to the vessel striking a lock side. The boat was not raised until seven hours later and no bodies were found. A radio was on board indicating someone remained on the craft. The search, involving multiple sheriff and rescue teams, may require dynamite to recover bodies trapped among river logs.
