Rescue crews launch boats back into the Green River Saturday morning as search continues for two missing duck hunters.
LEX 18’s sister station in Louisville captured pictures at the scene and says families of the two men are there as several groups are involved in the search.
They are at the Roachville Ford Crossing area of Green River, where the family of the men found their boat Friday night.

The men launched the boat Friday morning around 9 a.m. from the lake’s spillway, and were expected to return around noon. When they did not return, family members called police. Crews found the men’s vehicle still in the parking lot of the boat ramp, and the search began.
The Roachville area in Taylor County is about 14 miles downstream from the spillway.
Capt. Chris Taylor of Campbellsville Fire and Rescue says family members called the men very experienced hunters who are familiar with the area.
Taylor says the names of the men are being withheld “pending the outcome of the search.”
There are 50 searchers involved in the effort from the following departments: Breeding Area Volunteer Fire Dept., Green County, Hart County, Butler County, Warren County, Taylor County Sheriff Dept, KY Dept of Fish & Wildlife, and Kentucky State Police.
