(Columbia, South Carolina) -- A pair of West Virginia natives is missing on a vast South Carolina lake. Conservation officers with the South Carolina DNR have been searching Lake Murray near Columbia, South Carolina since last Saturday for Randy and Kimberly Adkins.

"We've narrowed down where they aren't and where they aren't is anywhere on the lake," said Lt. Robert McCullough with the South Carolina DNR. "We've checked with family and friends. They've made no contact with anybody we can find. In the next few days this may go from a rescue operation to a recovery."

The Adkins were last seen back on Saturday when they dropped off a camera to friends who had joined them on the lake Friday night for a local lake event. The meeting of the group at a well-known levee was the last time anybody saw or heard from the couple. Almost two hours later, the Adkins' boat was found drifting and abandoned on the lakeshore.

"Somewhere, in that hour and forty-five minutes they went missing," said McCullough.

The DNR says Lake Murray features 300-miles of shoreline and the levee where the Adkins were last seen and the area where their boat was found covers miles of water. Plus there are further complications in locating the two if they went overboard.

"Where they were was probably close to where the channel runs from 150 to upwards of 200 feet deep," McCullough explained from the lake's shore. "At those depths it's difficult to do anything even if you knew where they were."

Randy Adkins is originally from Hurricane, West Virginia and Kimberly is a native of Mingo County. Many of their family members still live in West Virginia.

McCullough says they're trying to stay positive, but the passing of time does not look promising for a happy ending to the search.

"We'd like to hold out hope that they're still alive, but at this point if they're alive they're avoiding contact with us," McCullough said. "At this point there's no indication or reason why they would be doing that."

(Kanawha City) -- The West Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force has nabbed another suspect trading in child porn. 

Thirty-six year old Harold Morris of Charleston was arrested on ten-counts of possession of child porn this week.   Troopers found videos on the computer in his Kanawha City apartment downloaded from the internet that included girls under the age of 15 engaged in sexual acts and explicit poses.   

It's the latest in a series of arrests for the unit in recent weeks.

(Hamlin) -- A well known political figure in the region has died.   Lincoln County Democrat leader Wylie Stowers died Wednesday at a Huntington hospital.   The 79-year old Stowers had been in poor health in recent years, although no exact cause of death is known.   Although he never held elected office himself, Stowers ran the Democrat party in Lincoln County for three decades.
