...Richard Bowie, director of the Down East Emergency Medicine Institute, one of the outside groups assisting with the search, said the lake's murky waters have complicated their efforts.

However, Bowie said many of the search vessels are using sonar and other tools to help the effort.

Bowie said the groups are also searching the shoreline for Kayler, and believe that finding him on land is the best chance for finding him alive.

The group had planned to use all-terrain vehicles to search the shore, but Bowie said that the Army Corp of Engineers did not want the ATVs near the levee.

Kayler, a military veteran, is married with a young daughter.

Kelly Kayler, Nik Kayler's wife, has posted words of encouragement to the search teams on Facebook.

"Thank you all so much for all you are doing!" she wrote. "I know you are going to find my husband and bring him home to me and our little girl. I am forever grateful!"
