Emergency crews continue their search for a missing Martin County, Kentucky man. Sheriff John Kirk says 37-year old William “Scottie” Fannin had already been missing for two days when they started their search last Saturday.
On Thursday the search for Scottie Fannin zeroed-in on Martin County Lake with crews trying to drop the water level to about 15 feet to make it easier to spot a body. Sheriff Kirk says three cadaver dogs and sonar technology indicated the presence of something in the water.

“It showed something that appeared to be an image of a body. There’s no way to know for sure. We’re going by the technology. Those are the same areas, the very same areas where the dogs indicated,” said Sheriff Kirk.
“Waiting around is tough on us,” said Joseph Fannin, Scottie’s brother. He says his family is stressed and worried not knowing where Scottie is. He adds the Christmas season is making it even worse. “Every year this will be the same thing every Christmas that he’s gone and if it is him in there it’s even worse. Just don’t know how we’ll make it. It would be awful,” said Fannin.
“I’m praying God will guide us to him. At this time he is a missing person,” said Sheriff Kirk.
Scottie Fannin disappeared less than a thousand feet from where he lives. “They seen him come down off the hill. It’s just like he vanished,” said Fannin.
Dozens of community members have helped in the search, combing a six mile radius from where Fannin was last seen, hoping to give the family closure. “Not knowing is killing us,” said Fannin.
