GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Divers searched for a teenager who disappeared while swimming in the Rogue River in Grants Pass.

Police told the Grants Pass Daily Courier that 18-year-old Shane Patrick Marshall was swimming and floating with friends at Baker Park on Wednesday.

He was with a group who got caught in the current and floated downstream. His friends called 911 when he didn’t return for his wallet and cell phone.

Divers from the Josephine County Search and Rescue Team started searching Wednesday evening, and resumed Thursday

Marshall’s brother, Scott Marshall, says they are hoping for the best.
