Law enforcement, volunteers, and the family of Bill Salnik want nothing more than closure related to the search efforts that have left them flummoxed for nearly a month. Salnik was sailing between Oconto and Door County with his two children when he went missing on July 13th. Salnik's boat was found on July 16th, south of Chambers Island, followed by his two young children a few hours later. Since then, several agencies spanning two states and multiple jurisdictions and volunteers have searched the water primarily around Chambers Island for Salnik. That includes Bruce's Legacy, a Black River Falls-based volunteer organization that provides search and recovery operations for drowning victims. Door County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Pat McCarty says searching for Salnik remains a fixture of their marine patrols. He hopes they can give the family any new information as it becomes available.

McCarty adds Door County remains in contact with law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin's Oconto and Marinette counties and Menominee County in Michigan to share information about their search efforts. He wants people to continue sharing tips with the department if they see something concerning the Salnik search while on the water.
