The search for six year old Lincoln Hilt is continuing. Yankton Police Chief Brian Paulsen says they have two boats in the water this morning (both SD G,F &P & Neb Game & Parks)
He says two additional boats will join the search this afternoon. (1 from SD and the other from NE Game & Parks).
Paulsen says the additional boats will have equipment that will give them a better view of the river and the area that is being searched.  He says there will be an exchange of boats this afternoon, but four boats will stay on the river until late this afternoon/evening or they are forced off the water by weather. Any adverse weather will affect the search until it clears the area.
Paulsen says when the weather clears they will bring in aircraft to aid the search.

According to Paulson, every indication they have indicates that Lincoln Hilt entered the water on Sunday. There is nothing to indicate otherwise. Paulsen says they continue to follow up on any information/tips that they receive.
Paulsen says at this time, Yankton Police do not believe a crime has been committed.
