Crews Back at Lanier Searching for Missing Swimmer
Woman was last seen jumping off a boat on Labor Day; she never re-surfaced.
Search crews were expected back at Lake Lanier Thursday trying to locate a woman who possibly drowned Labor Day after she jumped from a boat.
The Gainesville Times reported crews from the Georgia DNR and Hall County Sheriff’s Office searched the area near Big Creek Park for most of the day Wednesday until severe weather in the area cut the operation short.
Crews were using sonar equipment near the park’s boat ramp. Big Creek Park is located on the south end of Lake Lanier.
