Gulf County Sheriff Mike Harrison said Tuesday that members of his department, along with units from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Wewahitchka Search and Rescue, and the Southwest Panhandle Search and Rescue K-9 Team continued the search all day an area near Battle Bend for William “Bill” Davis, Jr.,
“We have a large area on the river we’re covering with boats and sonar,” he said. “We’ll all have to start dragging that area as well, and we’re dealing with very deep water. We’ll get out later in the day.”
