FRANKFORT, Mich. — A sheriff says a child is missing in northern Michigan waters and two others are safe after a wave swept them off a pier.
Benzie County Sheriff Ted Schendel tells the Traverse City Record-Eagle the children were walking on the pier with their grandmother when a wave washed them off just before 1 p.m. Monday.
He says the grandmother jumped in and rescued one child and another was able to climb out of the surf.
Schendel says searchers don’t believe they will find the boy alive.
