Officials are seeking volunteers to help search for the bodies of two children who were tragically killed.
The search for James Hutchinson, age 6, and Nylo Lattimore, age 3, will resume Friday afternoon.
Search teams first began looking for Nylo in December and James in March but the combination of floodwaters and bad weather kept teams out of the Ohio River recently.
North Star International K9 Training Association and Ohio LandSAR will continue the search at the Oxbow in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
Anyone who wants to help look for the two boys is asked to report to the Dearborn County Fairgrounds in Lawrenceburg by 3 p.m. Friday.
Volunteers will have to sign a waiver and then receive a wristband to indicate they are ready to search.
Officials said because the Oxbow is a large area to cover, help is needed.
Teams of volunteers will be placed with a trained NSI or Ohio LandSar member.

James Hutchinson
Investigators said Brittany Gosney intended to abandon her three children, James and his two older siblings, in a Preble County Park on Feb. 26 due to pressure from her boyfriend.
James grabbed the door handle of her minivan as she was speeding away and was dragged, police said.
Officers said Gosney confessed she took her two other children and left the park for 30 to 40 minutes before coming back to James, who had already died.
The following night, Gosney and her boyfriend drove James' body to the river near Lawrenceburg, Indiana and threw him in, according to police reports.
Gosney initially reported her son missing, but police said she confessed to the killing after she was questioned.
Gosney is charged with murder, abusing a corpse and tampering with evidence. Her boyfriend, James Hamilton, is charged with abusing a corpse and tampering with evidence.
Nylo Lattimore
Investigators believe 3-year-old Nylo Lattimore was dumped into the Ohio River alive by the man who had stabbed his mother to death.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters is seeking the death penalty for Desean Brown, 21, who is charged with murder in both killings.
Nylo was last seen on Dec. 4. Police said Brown tried to dump the body of his mother, Nyteisha Lattimore, into the river the night of Dec. 11. She was found on the banks of the river the next morning.
Cincinnati police and volunteer groups have searched more than 180 miles of the river looking for Nylo.
