A young swimmer has disappeared in the Russian River, authorities said, prompting a massive search that continued into Friday.
The Sonoma County Fire District said the boy was last seen in the water around 4:40 p.m. near Steelhead Beach in Forestville on Thursday. He was swimming with a group of friends when he went missing in the water, according to officials. The initial call was for two children who were lost in the water. When first responders arrived, one child had been found safe already. The sheriff's office has not released the age of the boy still missing.
So a lot of times you can be underwater and not be able to see a foot in front of your face." The Napa County Sheriff's Office brought a submersible and the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office has a special type of sonar that helps map out the terrain at the bottom of the river. Sonoma County fire officials urge people to be cautious of the dangers while in the Russian River during this time of year, when it's cold and running.
