The search for Richard Tucker resumed Friday morning at the Calamus Reservoir northwest of Burwell. Dive teams were out with sonar Friday trying to find the 19-year-old Columbus man.

According to local authorities, Tucker jumped from his family's boat to go for a swim around 12:30 Thursday afternoon.

He hasn't been seen since.

The Garfield County Attorney told the Columbus Telegram that while he couldn't confirm a drowning he suspected that that was a possibility.
