Authorities in Pulaski County say they have recovered the body of one of the men who was reported missing near a boat ramp earlier this week.

Pulaski County authorities say they recovered the body of Rich Webb last night about three-quarters of a mile from where Buck Creek flows into the Cumberland River.

Rescue crews have been searching for Webb and another man identified as Arthur Johnson after they were last seen at the Cave Creek Boat Ramp near the Pulaski-McCreary County line.

Rescue crews also recovered the boat the two men were last seen with, but crews are continuing the search for Johnson.

Reports are the boat is believed to have struck a rock wall and sank into the river.
