PORTAGE, Wis. (AP) -- A 45-year-old man is missing after his boat was found adrift and unoccupied on Lake Wisconsin near the Town of Westpoint.
Columbia County Sheriff Dennis Richards says registration records of the pontoon boat linked it to Keith M. Brisky of Lodi.
The boat was intact when it was found early Sunday morning and included several fishing items, but no sign of Brisky.
Brisky's vehicle and boat trailer were also found in the immediate area nearby, but Richards says officials have yet to find anyone who had contact with Brisky in the last week.
Authorities from Columbia County and the Department of Natural Resources are continuing their search, as are members of Brisky's family.
