In brief: Missing man likely drowned in lake

The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Department has identified a man who went missing Tuesday night and is presumed drowned in Lake Coeur d’Alene.

Riley Odwire, 24, who recently moved from Fernwood to Coeur d’Alene, reportedly was urinating at the back of a pontoon boat at 8:40 p.m. Tuesday when he fell into the water that ranges from 115 feet to 180 feet deep. Alcohol was believed to be a factor, the Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday.

A friend of the man reported the incident and told dispatchers they were near Gotham Bay. Responding deputies found them near the middle of the lake, between Carlin and Crescent bays, said Maj. Ben Wolfinger in a news release.

Sheriff’s rescuers resumed their search Wednesday after suspending it at 11 p.m. Tuesday. Deputies from the Recreation Safety Section of the Sheriff’s Department will be checking shorelines in the search area and preparing for a sonar search that will begin today, weather permitting.

Teen missing after jumping into lake

The search was suspended Wednesday evening for a 17-year-old who jumped off a cliff into Davis Lake in Pend Oreille County and did not surface.

The Pend Oreille County Sheriff’s Office sent emergency personnel after they got the call at 7:38 p.m. Dive team members also responded, but the search had to be called off because of weather and darkness, a dispatcher said.

Emergency crews will resume the search this morning. The name of the missing swimmer was not released.
