On Monday, the Harrison County Sheriff's Office suspended a search for a woman who went missing after a boat sank on the Missouri River Sunday night.
A 20-year-old woman, who was not identified by name, is still missing. The woman went missing after a boat took on water, eventually sinking, near mile marker 656 of the Missouri River. Harrison County dispatch received the call just minutes before midnight on Sunday, prompting a large response from local, state and federal emergency agencies.

Search efforts continued through the day Monday until being called off due to "hazardous weather condition," and the Harrison County Sheriff's Office said in a press release that the "operations will resume once conditions no longer threaten recovery efforts."
