Missing Kayaker Water Search West Hill Pond 01/02/15

New Hartford Volunteers along with assistance of the Goshen Dive Team and Airboat search for a 53 yo woman who was last seen at 8:30 pm the night before when she left to go kayaking. The kayak, paddle, and the woman's hat were located but crews would search much of the day in an attempt to find her. The state police dive team was called as well and they searched the lake with side scan sonar and a search and rescue dog. The Goshen airboat was a huge help since there was approximately 150-200 yards of ice between the boat ramp and the open water on the lake.
