An ODNR representative said William Harper and Daryl Kilgore, both 49, were the two people from the pontoon boat who went overboard. Officials have identified neither the person recovered nor who is still missing.
Three people from the larger boat were found after the crash; one was airlifted to a nearby hospital.
Ripley fire crews searched late into the night for the two missing boaters. The search continued Sunday starting at 10 a.m. Members of Ohio Task Force 1, based in Vandalia near Dayton, joined the search Sunday afternoon.
Witnesses said the pontoon had operating lights on the outside of the boat.
Ripley Fire Department and the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife are handling the investigation.
