JAMES CITY COUNTY -- 77-year-old Arthur Brooks hasn't been seen since his boat capsized on the York River 15 days ago.

 His family conducts a daily search, hoping to find him or some trace of his whereabouts.

Brooks and another commercial fisherman went out on the river near Croaker Landing to check their nets.  The weather turned bad and the boat capsized.

"Their net got caught in the motor and they were trying to untangle themselves," said daughter Angela Whitehead.

One body was recovered, but Brooks has never been found.

The family will go out on the water Saturday to search yet another day and says anyone who wants to help can join in.

The search begins at 6:00 a.m. and will end at dark.
