Man Goes Missing After Witness Heard Him Yelling for Help as He Clung to Boat

Authorities in Newburyport launched a recovery mission after a man was last seen clinging to a boat in the Merrimack River.
Witnesses said a person was seen yelling for help while clinging to the boat before it drifted away.
The Coast Guard suspended its search after 7 p.m. local time as authorities continued the recovery effort.
Local crews planned to resume the search at 9 a.m. the following day as the operation continued.
Authorities believe the man was not from the area and have not released additional identifying information.
