The search began after police were called to the Tish Tang campground. Three people were swept into the Trinity River in what is describe as “probably the most hazardous area of the river.”
A 19-year-old Fortuna boy is still missing after jumping into the Trinity River to rescue another swimmer Monday. The intensive search will likely wrap up Wednesday, explained Hoopa Tribal Chief of Police Rolando Ramos. He said typically, heavy search and rescue goes for three days where searchers try to pinpoint areas with clogs in the water the person might be.
The murky water churns through the valley, with recent dam releases spelling heavy volume and dangerous currents pulling below. Ramos estimated the water is in the 40s right now — and said many local fishermen aren’t fishing because the water is so rough.California and Arizona authorities search for missing woman after bizarre disappearance
He said the water is too strong right now for rescue swimmers to be deployed in the search. A family member of the missing teenager attempted to jump in later Monday after police and helicopters started the search, but had to be rescued by police as well, and had hypothermia.
