TWRA IDENTIFIES MISSING FISHERMAN IN LOUDON COUNTY
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) released the identity of the fisherman who went missing below Ft. Loudoun Dam following a boating incident Saturday. Officials say 51-year-old Eric Mowery of Heiskell, Tennessee disappeared after the fiberglass boat he was in was pulled into the cascading water from the dams spillway. The boat capsized sending both Mowery and 44-year-old Steven D. Music, of Jellico into the waters. Both were wearing flotation devices. Musick went underwater several times but was pulled to safety by nearby fishermen, while Mowery went under and never resurfaced. As of yesterday, search teams had covered about 12 miles of the river with no success in finding Mowery. They will continue to look for him today.
