Missing Fisherman Presumed Drowned after Boat Flips off of Manistee County
Posted: 8/4/2009


We now know the names of three rescued fisherman and a fourth missing man, now presumed drowned, after their boat capsized off the Arcadia Pier area last night.

The Manistee County Sheriff got a call about the boat from Kenneth Baker around 3:45am. Baker told deputies strong waves caused the boat to flip, tossing all four men in the lake.

Baker, Richard Wllison and Richard Vanneste held onto the boat throughout the night until Baker managed to make a one hour swim to shore and call for help.

The fourth man, Ojan Araynfard, disappeared when the boat capsized. He is presumed drowned.
