HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — A search of the Ohio River has found no trace of a Huntington man who was reported missing March 18.

Boat crews from the Coast Guard and the Huntington Fire Department and divers from Cabell County emergency services searched the river for about four hours Monday.

Authorities say 53-year-old Jerry Lambert was staying overnight on March 17 on a boat docked in Harris Riverfront Park.

His daughter reported him missing the next day after he didn’t show up for an appointment at the Huntington VA Medical Center and didn’t contact family.
