Search Suspended For Missing Man Last Seen In American River

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - Rescue crews have suspended the search for a missing swimmer last seen in the American River Sunday.

Witnesses called 911 after seeing a man go underwater near Howe Avenue and never resurface.

Firefighters used boats and a helicopter to search for the man, who is believed to be in his early 20s, while his friends watched from shore.

"They started crying and said he was already under there for 30 minutes," said witness Patricia Naraz.

Crews say they will return Monday to search the area where the victim was last seen.
