2. The search for an American Queen crew member ended on Saturday. The initial call came in Wednesday around 2:00 a.m. that a man went overboard the ship, which has stops in Marietta amongst other area cities. Rescue crews ended up searching more than 100 miles of the lower Mississippi River, but the unidentified man had not been found.( Harmar Village - Marietta, Ohio)
