Kenneth Scott McKee, who captained the boat and was employed by the now defunct company "Ride the Ducks Branson," was charged with 29 felony counts, including 17 counts of first-degree involuntary manslaughter, according to a criminal complaint. Charles Baltzell, who worked as the company's operations supervisor, was charged with 17 counts of first-degree involuntary manslaughter, the complaint shows. Curtis Lanham, who was employed as a general manager, was charged in the complaint with 17 counts of first-degree involuntary manslaughter.
