Officials said Carson Hughes' car was found unlocked with the keys still in the vehicle near the boat ramp on the lake. His kayak was also located on the water nearby.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources said Ripley County dispatchers received a report at around 1:30 p.m. Friday about an 18-year-old man who went missing at Versailles Lake in Versailles State Park.
Conservation officers and members of the Ripley County Sheriff's Office began searching the surrounding land Friday night and used thermal and side-scan sonar technologies to search the lake. Hughes was not found. Officials resumed their search just before 8 a.m. Saturday, and they are focusing on areas around the lake.
