OSWEGO -- Authorities say they plan to resume the search for an 18-year-old Montgomery man who disappeared while swimming in the Fox River near downtown Oswego.
They say the search ended at nightfall but will resume this morning.
The Oswego Fire Protection District says five teens were in the river Sunday when Robert Funston was reportedly drawn underwater by a strong current. The other four briefly searched for their friend before calling for help.
The Oswego Fire Protection District received help in the search from Montgomery, Aurora and the Bristol Kendall Fire Protection District in Yorkville.
