Search Continues For Missing Teen In SW Minn.

MARSHALL, Minn. (AP) ― Authorities in Lincoln County say an air search is likely Monday for 19-year-old Brandon Swanson.

The Marshall man has been missing since Wednesday.

Lincoln County Sheriff Jack Vizecky says searchers in protective gear walked the river Sunday but found no signs of Swanson.

Lyon County officials say Swanson last had cellular phone contact with his father, Brian Swanson, early Wednesday and said his car was in the ditch near Lynd. Swanson had apparently been using a field road and was on his way home to Marshall.

Swanson's car was later found near Taunton. The search has focused on areas of Lyon and Lincoln counties near the Yellow Medicine River. Volunteers have searched on horseback, on foot and on all-terrain vehicles.
