Search continues for Moab man missing in Colorado River after canoe capsizes 06.18.09 – 11:05 am Grand County Sheriff’s deputies and search and rescue workers continued their search this week for a Moab man reported missing after his canoe capsized in the Colorado River on June 11. Jody Page, 35, and another Moab man were floating through New Rapid, a whitewater rapid about 17 miles northeast of Moab, when their canoe filled with water at about 10:45 a.m., according to Grand County Chief Deputy Sheriff Curt Brewer. The other boater was able to swim to safety on the north shore of the river and contacted authorities for help. Page was last seen in the middle of the rapid “yelling for help,” Brewer said. Page is believed to have been wearing coveralls and boots at the time of the incident, Brewer said. The other boater told authorities that the vehicle they were driving broke down on state Route 128 and the two men decided to float down the river in the canoe into town, he said. Search crews from Grand County Search and Rescue, the National Park Service and state parks have been searching the river by boat and sheriff’s deputies are combing the shoreline looking for Page, who is presumed to have drowned, since Thursday afternoon, Brewer said. “Tentatively, we’re planning to start some night watches, putting lights on the river, on Thursday,” Brewer said. Neither man was wearing a life jacket at the time of the accident, according to a report from the sheriff’s office. © moabtimes.com 2009 UPDATE: 04-16-10 GRAND COUNTY, UT Body pulled from Colorado River ID’d
