Today, those search efforts are continuing with Sheriff's Dive and Search personnel along with CHP air operations. At this time, outside agencies and the CA National Guard have concluded their assistance. The Sheriff's Office would like to express its thanks to those agencies who assisted with the search for Kyle.

The Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's cooperation with not conducting self-initiated searches. These searches can actually be a detriment to our ongoing search operations.
