VIDEO: Cape Girardeau crews rescue man, woman canoeing down Mississippi River
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) – Crews rushed to the Mississippi River in Cape Girardeau for a rescue on Friday morning, August 23.
Cape Girardeau firefighters were called shortly after 10 a.m. to the riverfront for a man and his adult daughter in the water.
They were paddling an 18-foot-long canoe down the Mississippi River as part of a mission to raise money and awareness for the group Stop Soldier Suicide.
They stopped in Cape Girardeau for the night and left Friday morning for their next stop at Price Landing, in Scott County, Missouri.
This did not go as planned.
According to the Cape Girardeau Fire Department, the current was so strong that the canoe hit a buoy and the force threw one of the boaters into the river.
The man, Frank Lachinski, ended up getting caught in the current and was carried downriver close to the Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge.
Crews launched their rescue boats and got to Lachinski within minutes.
They pulled him into a rescue boat and brought him safely to shore.
Lachinski’s daughter also made it safely to shore.
Firefighters say someone passing by pulled her out of the water between Red Star and the Broadway floodgate.
Despite the accident, Lachinski is in good spirits and said this is the first time anything like this has happened.
He also noted that they didn’t lose any supplies.
Firefighters praise Lachinski and his daughter for wearing inflatable life jackets. They said it likely saved their lives.
Lachinski told us he and his best friend and fellow veteran, Jerry Broschofsky, their mission to reach the Gulf of Mexico in mid-October continues.
They said, “This ain’t stoppin’ them.”
Both men and Lachinski’s daughter continued the canoeing journey shortly before 11:30 a.m.

STARKVILLE — Four-star safety Kennedy Green recommitted to Mississippi State football on July 11.
The Douglasville, Georgia, native chose the Bulldogs over offers from South Carolina, North Carolina, Nebraska, Auburn and more. He originally committed to MSU in November 2024 but backed off his commitment in June 2025.
He is ranked No. 373 nationally by the 247Sports Composite and as the No. 32 safety and No. 40 player in Georgia.
Green, who’s 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, is MSU’s fourth four-star in the 2027 recruiting class joining running backs Yoshawn Hudson and Christian Alexander and defensive lineman Jaden Bayonne.
Mississippi State’s recruiting class was ranked No. 52 nationally and last in the SEC before Green’s commitment.
Green recorded 56 tackles last season with two interceptions.
The Bulldogs have three other safeties in the class, both of whom are three-stars: Trae’kerrion Collins, Hudson Fuqua and Ke’Vontae Pitts.
