GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Authorities say they’ve been unable to locate a 26-year-old Crescent City, Calif., man missing after he tried to swim across the Rogue River near Grants Pass, Ore.

Josephine County sheriff’s deputies say they were alerted Wednesday evening that Robert Allen Grevious Jr. had gone under while trying to swim the river with two juveniles. The two both reached the opposite bank and say they saw Grevious struggling, then saw him disappear.

A search and rescue dive team looked for him Wednesday night and again on Thursday.
