Two people reported missing while kayaking on Floyds Fork have been found safe. Firefighters say a family member picked them up Monday night and they have been at home since, but search crews were not aware they had been found and the search wasn't called off until early Tuesday morning. A man in his 30s and a woman believed to be in her 30s or 40s were reported missing around 10 or 11 Monday night, according to Asst. Chief Dewayne Hutchens with the Fern Creek Fire Department. Around 6:30 Tuesday morning firefighters reported they found one kayak in Shepherdsville but no sign of either person. Five departments took part in the search with four boats in the water and the LMPD Air Unit overhead.
