Clothing of missing students found on island

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) - Clothing belonging to two missing boat-building students has been found on an island near Kennebunkport.

Marine Patrol Col. Joseph Fessenden told the Portland Press Herald that searchers looking for 21-year-old Zachery Wells and 23-year-old Prescott Wright found pieces of their clothing early Monday morning.

Wells, of Burlington, Vt., and Wright, of Barnstable, were last seen while drinking beer with a small group of friends at Wells' home in Kennebunkport on Wednesday night. They both are students at The Landing School, a boat building and yacht design school in Arundel.

Fessenden said the ongoing search will include flyovers at low tide of the area where the clothing was found.
