The MDS Search and Rescue team recently helped recover the bodies of a 47-year-old man and his 20-year-old son after they disappeared while kayaking near the Lost Bridge area on Beaver Lake.

The bodies of Chuck Morris and his son, Charley, were found 24 days after their disappearance.

Working with local emergency officials and rescue teams, the local MDS SAR crew used sonar equipment to help locate the bodies.

The local crew frequently responds to car accidents and other emergencies in Carroll County
