MCCALL, Idaho — The search for a missing swimmer at Payette Lake has ended after crews recovered the individual on Tuesday, according to the Valley County Sheriff's Office.
The Valley County Sheriff's Office Dispatch Center received a report of a water rescue at about 8:43 p.m. on Monday near an area known as The Cliffs on the east side of the lake.
According to the sheriff's office, a group of people were swimming in the area when one person jumped from a large rock into the lake and did not resurface.
Emergency responders quickly arrived and began searching the area. The initial search was suspended overnight because of darkness and limited visibility before resuming Tuesday with deputies using multiple boats, side-scan sonar and other specialized search equipment.
Tuesday afternoon, the sheriff's office said search crews recovered the missing individual.
"We have been able to recover the missing individual from this incident and are currently working with the coroner to notify the next of kin," the sheriff's office said in a statement. "At this time, no further information will be released."
