Emergency officials said they would resume their search Sunday morning for a missing boater on Lake Arthur in Moraine State Park.

The search for 52-year-old Brian Cornetti of Prospect was called off early this evening, according to KDKA-TV.

Mr. Cornetti was last seen Friday around 10 p.m. when he took his boat out on the lake. Park officials suspect that Mr. Cornetti's boat may have drifted away and he went in after it.

The search began late this morning after park rangers reported finding his empty boat on the lake, with his belongings, including a life jacket. Also, Mr. Cornetti's truck was still parked at the dock where he left it.

The rangers contacted the Butler County Emergency Operations Center at 11:02 a.m.
