Austin Savage Kyle Englehart Missing Hunters on James River - Another Colonial Parkway Event


Austin Savage, 20 and Kyle Englehart, 29 went to to their hunting spot on the James River, Wednesday, January 3, to repair a broken duck blind before an expected Winter storm was to hit the Virginia area.  

The Winter storm that hit that night brought snow, wind and below freezing temperatures.  

The two duck hunters were reported missing after their 16 foot john boat never returned to the Jamestown Yacht Marina.  Their 16-foot john boat was discovered capsized on Thursday by a Virginia State Police helicopter with no discovery of the 2 missing men.  

According to Fox6, Austin's brother Nathan Savage said, "Austin and Kyle are very hands on and very experienced hunters and boaters.  Something doesn't add up because they're so experienced." 

The Coast Guard was called in at 1:00 Thursday with crews searching around Hogg Island.  The water search for the two hunters was suspended at noon on Friday.
