Dutchess County authorities are searching for New York City resident Ian Jones, who has been missing after his and his girlfriend's tandem kayak capsized in the Hudson River yesterday. The girlfriend, Tali Lennox-Fruchtmann, daughter of singer Annie Lennox, was rescued by a passing boater.
Police say that Jones and Lennox-Fruchtmann had been in the water early yesterday morning and capsized near the Mills Mansion in Staatsburg. The pair got separated. Officers responded around 9:50 a.m., and searched the Hudson until 10 p.m. The search resumed this morning at 7:30 a.m.
Captain John Watterson said, "We believe that alcohol may have played a role," and also said that neither Jones nor Fruchtmann was wearing a life jacket.
Watterson had also mentioned, "The current in the Hudson River is very strong and we believe the current played a role in the kayak capsizing, and once the two got in the water it was difficult for them to stay together." Foul play is not suspected.
According to the Poughkeepsie Journal, "The sheriff's department described Jones as a white male, 6-foot-3 with a slim build, dark hair, wearing jeans and a denim shirt. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 845-486-3800, or via the tipline at 845-605-2583 or dcsotips@gmail.com."
Jones is a photographer and model and Lennox is an artist:
