A 19-year-old woman from Kentucky went missing Wednesday afternoon after falling overboard from a pontoon boat at Grayson Lake in Carter County. Marly Kinney was attending a party with at least 10 friends when the incident occurred.
According to authorities, Kinney was last seen around 4 p.m. while wearing a bikini. She reportedly went overboard to use the bathroom, but the group did not immediately realize she was missing. The exact location on the lake where she entered the water remains unknown, as witnesses were unable to provide precise details.
Following the discovery that Kinney was missing, search efforts were launched encompassing both land and water in and around Grayson Lake. Officials coordinated the operation with local rescue teams to cover multiple areas of the lake’s extensive shoreline.
The circumstances leading to Kinney’s disappearance remain unclear, and investigators continue to gather information from those present during the boat party. Authorities have not released additional details on potential safety measures or whether foul play is suspected.
The community and law enforcement agencies remain engaged in the ongoing search as they seek to locate Kinney and determine the cause of her disappearance.
