PICKWICK LAKE-The dive search for Jacob and Jeremiah Sanders has been suspended for the day according to Mike Melton of Colbert EMA. With the water level being raised the water is just not safe for divers. The current is just too swift.
The search was suspended due the window that TVA allowed for the lowering of the water in Pickwick Lake. Due to rain upstream the amount of water flowing down the Tennessee River only allowed the water level to be lowered for a short time. The search will continue with sonar equipment and if a solid lead appears the dive efforts will be reassessed at that.
