Crews Call Off Search For Man Missing In River

Posted: 4:38 pm EDT April 7, 2009
The search for a man who has been missing in the Ohio River since Monday has been called off.

As of 5 p.m., river traffic was permitted to resume and search crews will bring their work to a close.

More than 40 rescue workers searched the area of the W. H. Sammis Power Plant near Stratton for the body of 26-year-old Michael Harvey, of Pittsburgh.

Harvey, who worked as a deckhand, fell from the Oliver Shear barge into the river Monday afternoon.

His family members waited near the scene all day Tuesday, hoping crews would recover his body.

"They're pretty upset just sitting in the car, just watching and waiting," said Hancock County Sheriff Mike White. "They know he's not going to make it."

Cadaver dogs assisted in the search, and crews from as far as Wheeling aided in the recovery effort.

Crews found Harvey's life vest earlier in the day, which officials said Harvey was wearing when he fell into the water.
