A search is underway for a Springville man after he went missing in the water at Monroe Lake.

This afternoon at approximately 5:24 p.m., responders were dispatched to the lake for two people struggling in the water. Upon arrival, officers learned that one of the individuals was rescued from the water by a passing boater. The second individual, Dwight Fry, 64, was missing in water.

Initial investigation revealed that before going missing in the water, Fry was attempting to help his wife, who began struggling in the water.
