DOUGLAS, Mass. (WWLP) – A search for a possible missing kayaker has been suspended at Whitins Reservoir in Douglas.
The Douglas Police reported on Thursday afternoon that an overturned kayak was located on the reservoir. According to the Massachusetts State Police, a witness reported seeing a man fishing from a kayak Thursday morning and it was found overturned without anyone with it.
Dave Procopio of the state police told 22News that they assisted in the search of a possible missing kayaker Friday morning however, it was called off due to evidence suggesting the owner of the kayak left the reservoir the same day he was seen.
Video footage from a home security system showed a pickup truck carrying a green kayak heading to the reservoir at around 9:20 a.m. Thursday. It then showed the same truck leaving the area at around 2 p.m. without the kayak.
