Summary
Marly Kinney, 19, disappeared June 24, 2026 while on a rented pontoon boat with a group of friends at Grayson Lake. Investigators say she was last seen around 4 p.m, getting off the pontoon for a bathroom break. The group boarded again to move to another location. After realizing Marly was not on board, they returned. Authorities were later notified, prompting a large search.
Drones, sonar, boats, helicopters, K-9 teams, and underwater search equipment were used as more than 50 community volunteers searched the shoreline. Five days after she went missing, Marly Kinney's body was recovered from Grayson Lake. The cause and manner of death are being determined by the state medical examiner.
Related to the case, boat operator, Cameron Conley, 23 has been arrested on a charge of boating under the influence after responding officers observed signs of intoxication.
