It’s the fourth day crews responded to the lake in the 6300 block of Guy Murray Road.
On Tuesday Simpson said crews stayed off the water to give the lake time to calm down.
“We still have units there and the area is being checked by drones several times a day,” he said. “We are hoping the victim’s body will surface soon. We do have plans to bring in sonar again within the next few days if he does not surface.”
Crews initially responded to reports of a person who went into a lake around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.
Simpson said the call center received a 911 call reporting that a 20-year-old man chased a kayak that was floating in the lake, and the kayak he was in overturned.
The caller reported that he had jumped in to find him but was unable to do so, according to Simpson.
The caller said that they looked for him for 20 to 30 minutes before calling 911, he said.
Multiple agencies responded to the scene Sunday and Monday with additional resources to help search for the missing man.
