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.
