The 18-year-old from Wisconsin, identified as D'Andrea Sanvig, was on a rock ledge in Interstate State Park when he lost his footing and fell into the swollen river below, said Capt. Derek Anklan with the Chisago County Sheriff's Office.
Several agencies responded to the scene after 911 calls came in at about 6:10 p.m. Despite an extensive search, the teen was not found by the time search efforts were called off at nightfall, Anklan said.
Teams continued to search for Sanvig by land, water and air on Wednesday, Anklan said in an email update. The search was still ongoing as of 8 p.m. Wednesday, Anklan said.
Anklan asked the public not to search on or near the river because the high water levels, fast flow and debris typically seen in the spring have made for dangerous conditions.
The governor said it may be 2027 or 2028 by the time the market catches up to demand.
