As darkness set in Sunday evening, a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office search and recovery team continued to search Douglas County State Fishing Lake for a 17-year-old boy who disappeared after the boat he was on capsized, 19 hours earlier.

Douglas County Undersheriff Jim Martin said it was reported at about 10 p.m. Saturday that two 17-year-old boys were apparently fishing on the lake just northeast of Baldwin City when their jon boat capsized.

“Only one surfaced,” Martin said. “We’re not 100 percent sure he didn’t make it to shore, but there has been no sign of him. There’s no indication we should be searching anywhere but where we are.”

Martin said he did not know whether the two boys were wearing life vests. The boy who reported the incident was uninjured and is home with family, he said.

Sheriff’s office personnel have been on the scene since late Saturday, and a dive team arrived with sunup, Martin said. The search of the lake is concentrating on its north side near the dam and its eastern fork, he said.

“We’ll continue to search the surface,” he said. “We’ll send divers down when we find anything interesting.”

Shortly before 6 p.m. Sunday, Martin announced there would be no updates from the Sheriff’s Office until Monday morning. He did not indicate if the search would continue through the night; however, a boat equipped with a searchlight continued to prowl the lake near the dam as darkness fell Sunday evening.
