WHITING, IND (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - A Chicago man who went missing along with a friend on Lake Michigan more than three weeks ago has been found dead.
The body of 36-year-old Dexter Sain was found 200 yards off Lakefront Park in Whiting. The Lake County Coroner determined he drowned.
Sain and his friend, Curtis Herron, also 36, left a harbor in East Chicago in a 30-foot power boat on July 27. The boat had just been purchased and neither had boating experience. The boat has not been found. Herron, who’s still missing, uses a wheelchair.
The men had an electrical problem with the boat soon after they set out and called for a tow but then declined because of the cost. The family of Sain was critical of the coast guard after a search for the men was called off.
