Troopers are searching the Knik River for a missing kayaker who was trying to retrieve another boat on Tuesday.
PALMER, Alaska - Alaska Wildlife Troopers are searching for a man missing since Tuesday night in the Knik River.that 46-year-old Brian Liser was in a kayak trying to “retrieve a boat that had drifted across the river,” when witnesses described his kayak overturning shortly before 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Troopers said witnesses told them that Liser did not reappear after the kayak overturned, and he was not wearing a life jacket. Rescuers from the wildlife troopers searched the area in a helicopter while rescue divers from the Mat-Su Borough Emergency Services were staged on shore, but troopers said only Liser’s kayak was found.
Wednesday morning, troopers deployed a different helicopter to continue search efforts, which have been complicated by high water levels and poor visibility, keeping sonar and dive teams from being used.
