Prosecutors announced Thursday that two more employees of Ripley Entertainment have been indicted on federal charges related to last year's duck boat sinking on Table Rock Lake that resulted in 17 deaths. Curtis P. Lanham, 36, of Galena and Charles V. Baltzell, 76, of Kirbyville were each indicted on more than a dozen felony charges. The U.S. Attorney's Office accuses the employees of Ripley Entertainment of prioritizing profits over safety when they put the amphibious Stretch Duck 7 vessel on the water on the evening of July 19 despite warnings that severe weather was approaching.
