On Sunday, crews searching the Chickamauga Reservior recovered the body of missing boater, Theresa Parker of Hamilton County around 2:30 p.m. Eastern time. The search began Friday, January 15 when Parker and two others capsized while canoeing near the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant. There were no life jackets aboard the canoe. Responding crews found one man on shore and boat crews found one woman along the bank. Both were transported to a hospital in Hixson suffering from cold water immersion symptoms. Harsh weather including water temperatures around 47 degrees Fahrenheit and strong winds along with a strong water current made search and recovery efforts difficult.
