(KAIR)--Despite an extensive search following a report that someone had jumped into the Missouri River, at Atchison, no body has been found.
That word Thursday morning from Atchison County Emergency Management Director Wes Lanter, following the search that happened Wednesday evening.
The Atchison County Rescue Service was joined by the Atchison Fire Department in conducting the effort.
After the report was made around 6:00 Wednesday evening, emergency vehicles lined the Amelia Earhart Memorial Bridge as part of the search, which included the use of rescue boats.
Around 7:45, the Atchison Fire Department ended their involvement in the search, which Lieutenant Michael Wahwasuck tells MSC News was decided due to the availability of a second boat belonging to Atchison County Rescue. Wahwasuck says his department's rescue boat had been utilized earlier in the search effort.
Atchison County Rescue continued the search, which Lanter says lasted until around 8:30 Wednesday evening.
With no body discovered, and no definitive proof that a jump had occurred, the decision was made to end the search.
