The woman was rescued and hospitalized, but Krantz is still missing. Officials said the canoe was found near an island. Officials said that high winds would’ve made canoeing or kayaking dangerous at the time the incident occurred.

Krantz’s daughter said he was raised in Chetek and lived in Rice Lake, though he traveled a lot for work.
