Gold Member Kivalo Posted August 30, 2018 Gold Member Share Posted August 30, 2018 These guys are completely & totally FUCKED! The USCG incident report will be interesting to read. https://www.google.com/amp/amp.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article217514420.html Two duck boat captains from Table Rock Lake tragedy targeted in federal investigation BY JUDY L. THOMAS, LAURA BAUER AND STEVE VOCKRODT JTHOMAS@KCSTAR.COM LBAUER@KCSTAR.COM SVOCKRODT@KCSTAR.COM August 29, 2018 02:44 PM The captains of two Ride the Ducks boats that battled rough waters before one sank last month are targets of a criminal investigation, according to federal court documents filed Wednesday. Kenneth Scott McKee, captain of the sunken Stretch Duck 07, and Barry King, captain of Stretch Duck 54, “are aware of their status as targets of the Government action,” the document says. They are under investigation for allegedly operating the vessel in a manner that endangered lives. Seventeen of the 31 passengerson Duck 07 died when the boat sank in Table Rock Lake near Branson on July 19. Duck 54 was also on the water but made it to shore. The documents filed in U.S. District Court Wednesday also indicate that Ripley Entertainment, which owns the duck boats, is another “target” or “subject” of the investigation. And they say that “several Ripley agents, employees, or officers have been identified as targets and/or subjects of the Government action.” The U.S. Attorneys’ manual defines a “target” as “a person as to whom the prosecutor or the grand jury has substantial evidence linking him or her to the commission of a crime and who, in the judgment of the prosecutor, is a putative defendant.” A “subject” of an investigation, the manual says, “is a person whose conduct is within the scope of the grand jury’s investigation.” King’s wife turned to social media after the sinking that night to tell Facebook friends her husband was OK. She wrote that he was also on the lake that night, at the same time, and faced rough weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mileage Psycho Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 McKee should hang, the other asshole should get at least 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 WHY ARE THEY STILL AROUND? They took a bunch of non-swimmers out in on a boat (they went voluntarily...weird), in stormy weather, sealed up the exits and had a complete disregard for safety. The whiplash claims alone would have sunk them! They should have ditched town a long time ago. But, morons gonna moron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
