Officers with the Department of Natural Resources concentrated their search at a train trestle, between the Hamilton Street Bridge and Old State Road 25, where there is a build up of tree limbs and debris under the trestle.

Deputies said no one has been reported missing in this area. They have contacted surrounding counties and say no one has been reported missing in those areas.
