However, Search and Rescue’s Jeff Smedley says that due to dangerous conditions on the river their search has been suspended.

“We’ve currently suspended operations due to the conditions of the ice and the water. Over the last three days the water has risen 10-12 inches. So now any surface of ice that was stable, now is potentially unstable. The log jams are starting to move a little bit and that’s the areas that we need to go in and continue to look.”

The names of the men have not been released.
