Search for missing student focuses on river, again to no avail

Print More

Lower water levels in the Otter Creek are enabling Middlebury Police to resume the search for missing Middlebury College student Nicholas Garza.

Two teams of firefighters returned to the river Thursday with probes, inflatable boats and underwater video cameras in hopes of finding an “item of interest” spotted in aerial photography April 17.

The searchers spent much of Thursday in water beneath a waterfall, where the water bunched tree trunks, car tires and other debris against a riverbank.

Nothing was found.
