Searchers continued to look in a marshy area of the St. Lawrence River on Saturday for a man missing from a nearby Mohawk community after pulling the bodies of eight migrants from the chilly waters earlier this week.
Authorities provided no updates in their hunt for 30-year-old Casey Oakes, who was last seen Wednesday night operating a boat that was found next to the migrants’ bodies the following day. Police have not made any direct connections between Oakes and the deaths.
