CATAWISSA, Pa. — Even after dark dive crews were using sonar to continue their search for a missing 27-year-old man from Mount Carmel.
Police said the man was kayaking with friends on the Susquehanna River around 4 p.m when he paddled ahead of everyone else.
"When the group got down to this location they found the kayak empty," said Montour Township Police Chief Terry Eckart.
The kayak the man was in and his flip-flop was found floating in the water.
State police helicopters circled the area from above and dive crews from at least five surrounding counties came to help.
The search to the area was narrowed down near the Catawissa Boat Club in Montour Township.
"The current is not that extremely fast at this time, so chances are if someone did go down, they may not have gone far," Eckart added.
Dive crews said they'll resume their search Thursday morning.
