Wednesday morning a team continued to search for 51-year-old Eric Mowery, a fisherman from Heiskell, Tenn. who went missing after the boat he was in overturned on Saturday morning below Ft. Loudon Dam. TWRA officers worked with TVA to close all flood gate spilling at 9 a.m. yesterday to allow crews to search the numerous areas near the dam face and wing wall that have been unsearched thus far due to safety. Officials said the boat capsized sending Mowery and 44-year-old Steven Musick into the water. Both men were wearing life jackets, but Mowery never resurfaced.
