A bikini-clad teen has gone missing after getting off a boat to use the toilet with her friends, only noticing she was gone after they headed back out on the lake.

Marly Kinney mysteriously disappeared after spending a day on a pontoon boat with a group of pals.

The 19-year-old hopped off the boat at the side of the lake to use the bathroom with the group, allegedly accidentally leaving her behind.

The boat had around 10 people on it who reportedly cannot recall whereabouts on the lake the teen got off.

At 4pm local time on 24 Jun, authorities were alerted that Marly was missing, as reported by Need To Know.

It is believed that the group of friends was out on an excursion day on Grayson Lake, Kentucky.

The reservoir stretches over 1,500 acres.

Local police and first responders have sparked a frantic search for the missing woman.

Helicopters, drones, K9 teams, boats, GPS, divers, phone data, people on foot, off-road vehicles and regular vehicles have been deployed to the area.

She has been described as 5ft5, around 125lbs and has black hair.

Marly was last seen wearing a pink, orange, and white bikini.

Friends and family members have been pleading with locals to come forward with any information they may have on the teen.

An arrest was allegedly made for one member on the boat for ‘boating under the influence’.

It is unknown if Marly had consumed any alcohol at the time of her disappearance.

A digital creator who focuses on true crime and missing persons cases has also released a statement on the search.

Matt Thibodeau said: “A search is underway in Carter County, Kentucky, after 19-year-old Marly Kinney was reported missing from the Grayson Lake area.

“According to authorities, Kinney was last seen at approximately 4:00 p.m. on June 24, 2026. Investigators say she had been on a pontoon boat with several other people, but it remains unclear exactly when or where she left the vessel, leaving a significant gap in the timeline of her disappearance.

“Emergency responders and law enforcement agencies continued searching Grayson Lake on June 25, focusing on areas where Kinney was last believed to have been.

“Officials have not released many details about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, and investigators are working to piece together her final known movements.

”As the investigation continues, authorities are attempting to determine who was on the pontoon boat with Kinney, when she was last seen, and whether anyone witnessed her entering the water, leaving the boat, or reaching shore.

“Investigators may also review cellphone records, photographs, videos, and social media activity to help establish a clearer timeline.

“At this time, officials have not announced any evidence of foul play and have not indicated whether the case is being treated as an accident, a possible drowning, or a suspicious disappearance.

“The primary focus remains on locating Kinney and determining what happened after she was last seen.

“The case has generated growing concern among family members, friends, and the local community as search efforts continue.

“Authorities are urging anyone with information about Kinney’s whereabouts or activities on June 24 to contact law enforcement immediately.”
