Representatives from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks searched Monday, Feb. 20, 2017, for one of two teenagers who were thrown into the Douglas State Fishing Lake on Saturday after a boat capsized.

Authorities have identified the 18-year-old man who is missing after he fell into the Douglas County State Fishing Lake this weekend as Cameron Kirchner, of Gardner.

Kirchner and a 17-year-old boy were in a jon boat that overturned about 10 p.m. Saturday, said Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek.

The lake is northeast of Baldwin City.

Initially authorities believed the small boat contained two 17-year-old boys, but Tuesday Dymacek released Kirchner’s identity and age. The minor’s name is not currently being released, she said.

The boy resurfaced after the accident, but Kirchner did not, Dymacek said.

A search was launched by officials from the sheriff’s office and the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.

Neither the boy nor Kirchner is believed to have been wearing a life jacket, and on Monday Dymacek said the search was likely a recovery rather than a rescue.

In a statement, Kirchner’s family thanked the community for its support as the search continues.

“This is an extremely hard time for us as we wait for news of our loved one,” they said. “But we have been so appreciative of the love and support that has been showed to us by friends and strangers alike.”

“We would also like to thank law enforcement, as well as their families for being supportive of our family while they search for Cameron,” they added.

Crews have searched throughout the daylight hours since Sunday, only stopping once it becomes too dark to see.

Monday afternoon divers recovered a boat from the bottom of the lake, but they were still awaiting confirmation that it was the same one from Saturday’s accident.

Tuesday morning the crews began searching again, but in the afternoon Dymacek said Kirchner had not yet been found.

“We will continue to search tomorrow if needed,” she said.

High winds, cold water and low visibility in the lake are some of the challenges crews are facing as they search, Dymacek said Monday.
