SEVIER COUNTY, Utah, Oct. 22, 2021 (Gephardt Daily) — Sevier County Sheriff’s Office and additional agencies are searching for a young teen who was in a boat that capsized at Fish Lake early Friday morning.
According to a Friday night news release from the sheriff’s office, a father and his 13-year-old son had been night fishing with a friend. They dropped the friend off at 3:30 a.m. Friday and went back out to fish.
