Rescue workers from Calhoun, Liberty, Bay, Leon and Gulf counties are combing the Apalachicola River in search of a 63-year-old Bristol man. According to Calhoun County Sheriff Glenn Kimbrel, Eugene Jacobs was fishing off his houseboat yesterday afternoon with his four-year-old granddaughter. The pair did not return home when expected and family members went to the boat where they found fishing lines still out, but no sign of either of them. Authorities recovered the body of the little girl around dark last night about 250 yards from the houseboat. She died from an apparent drowning. Please keep the Jacobs family in your prayers.
