Police are asking for assistance in locating a 49-year-old man who lives near Annapolis after an empty kayak was found floating in Oyster Creek. Maryland Natural Resources Police are looking for anyone who saw Gerard "Jerry" Robert Welsh, whose Chevrolet Avalanche was found near the Oyster Harbor shoreline. Sgt. Art Windemuth said the search for Welsh began after an empty kayak and a life preserver were found Tuesday afternoon. National Resources Police, the Coast Guard and Anne Arundel County firefighters and police conducted a water and land search Wednesday. The search is to resume today. Anyone with information is asked to call Cpl. Brian Rothgeb at 410-260-8888.
