The Iowa DNR said late Sunday evening one boater was rescued, but another is missing, after the small jon boat they were in went over the roller dam at Lock and Dam 18 near Burlington. The one boater was in the water holding a log in the Mississippi River when he was rescued by Iowa Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Officer Paul Kay late Sunday afternoon.

The search for the other missing occupant of the boat will continue on Monday when
there is daylight. The names of the boaters were being withheld pending notification of relatives. The incident remains under investigation by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the Des Moines County Sheriff’s Department.
