Search Expanding for Missing Minnesota Boaters

Law enforcement officers are expanding their search for three missing men on the Lake of the Woods in northern Minnesota.

Officials are now searching the Sturgeon Channel area on the lake for Keith Ayers, Cory Ostendorf and Justin Haugtvedt.

A four-hour air search was done by the U.S. Border Patrol Air Unit and a foot search was done near the shoreline on Flag Island.

The men’s capsized boat and three life jackets have been found.

The three men from Baudette were last seen late Friday night.
