Search Continues For Missing Teen In Chatfield Reservoir

Crews are continuing their search for a missing 18-year-old who went swimming in the Chatfield Reservoir Friday and hasn't been seen since. South Metro Fire Rescue and West Metro Fire crews used drones in the search Monday while dive teams continued their search underwater.

Witnesses on the shore and in boats last saw the teen near Catfish Flats and Chatfield Swim Beach, fire officials said. The crews used sonar technology to search the water, and tracked areas using GPS coordinates.

Part of the shoreline was blocked off and a rescue team member on a jet ski kept swimmers and boats away from the search area.

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Marine Evidence Recovery Team searched Chatfield Reservoir until 11:30 p.m. Monday, and a crew from the Summit County Sheriff's Office was searching until early Tuesday morning, wildlife officials said. The crews were set to resume again later Tuesday morning.
