The captain and two employees of a tourist duck boat that sank in a Missouri lake in July 2018, killing 17 of the 31 people aboard, have been charged by a state prosecutor, reviving the threat of long prison sentences seven months after federal charges against them were dismissed.
Captain Kenneth Scott McKee, operations supervisor Charles Baltzell and general manager Curtis Lanham were each charged this week with 17 counts of involuntary manslaughter for their roles in the Ride the Ducks disaster on Table Rock Lake near the tourist mecca of Branson, in southwestern Missouri.
The boat was overwhelmed during a fast-moving thunderstorm and sank before it could make it back to shore.

A local prosecutor charged a boat captain and two other employees Friday over 17 deaths in July 2018 when a tourist duck boat sank on a Missouri lake during a severe thunderstorm, reviving the threat of long prison sentences seven months after federal charges against them were dismissed.
The total of 63 felony charges were filed in Stone County against the captain, the general manager and the manager on duty the day of the accident for the Ride the Ducks attraction on Table Rock Lake near the tourist mecca of Branson, in southwestern Missouri.
Captain Kenneth Scott McKee, of Verona, general manager Curtis Lanham, of Galena, and manager on duty Charles Baltzell, of Kirbyville, were charged after a federal judge dismissed earlier charges filed by federal prosecutors, concluding they did not have jurisdiction.
