Charges have been refiled after a duck boat accident in Branson, Missouri killed 17 people.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt's office has refiled involuntary manslaughter charges against three men in connection with the sinking of a tourist boat that killed 17 people in 2018.
On April 5, Stone County Judge Alan Blankenship dismissed first-degree involuntary manslaughter charges against Kenneth Scott McKee, 54, the captain of the boat; Curtis P. Lanham, 39, the general manager at Ride the Ducks in Branson; and Charles V. Baltzell, 79, the operations supervisor who was a manager on duty when the boat sank.
"As I've said previously, my Office is committed to fighting for justice on behalf of the 17 people that were tragically killed in 2018 - that's why we re-filed the charges in this case," Schmitt said in a statement Wednesday. Prosecutors said the tourist boat went into the lake despite warnings of storms in the area. The boat sank after it was swamped by waves caused by the winds.
