WINONA — Searchers continue to scour the Mississippi River but have not found the fourth person who is presumed drowned after an SUV plunged into the icy river.

Search teams used sonar, robots and underwater cameras Wednesday along the shore where the accident happened, but no body was found.

Winona County Sheriff Dave Brand said the search will resume Thursday. Brand said he hopes to bring in cadaver dogs to help with the search.
