MARQUETTE, MI-- Officials have released the names of two people swept off the Black Rocks at Presque Isle Park in Marquette Tuesday.
City Police say they received 911 calls around 1:30 in the afternoon that a man and woman had been swept off the rocks by high waves. The park was closed to visitors at the time.
The two are identified as Robert Anderson, 53, and Sarah Hall, 37, both of Iron River.
Marquette Police and Fire Departments responded to the scene. A Coast Guard helicopter from Air Station Traverse City was called up to search the waters, as strong winds and 25-foot waves made it impossible for divers to enter the lake. It searched for about three hours Tuesday, but found nothing.
The search has been suspended at this time.
