19-Year-Old Marly Kinney Missing After Leaving Pontoon at Grayson Lake

Authorities are conducting a focused water and air search using sonar, boats, drones and K-9 teams to find her and collect evidence.

Overview

  • Marly Kinney of Ashland, Kentucky, was last seen on June 24 after leaving a pontoon boat at Grayson Lake and has been reported missing.
  • The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife is leading the operation with help from Kentucky State Police using boats, sonar, aerial drones and K-9 units to search the area where she was last seen.
  • A fellow passenger, 23-year-old Cameron Conley, was arrested at the boat ramp the same day for boating under the influence after a .137 breathalyzer reading and was later released pending a court appearance.
  • People on the boat initially did not realize Kinney was missing and they have been unable to say exactly where on the lake she exited the vessel, leaving key details unresolved.
  • Kinney’s family has circulated missing-person flyers and appealed for tips while the Carter County Sheriff’s Office warned that some social-media flyers list its administrative number and it is not handling the investigation.
