FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Dive teams searched Lake Anna Thursday night for the body of a veteran Virginia State Police captain who went overboard while boating with his uncle, authorities said.
Capt. Steve Adams, who has been with the force more than 30 years, fell into the lake while tracking back to pick up his uncle, who was water-skiing behind the boat and had fallen off, police said.
Adams’ uncle was able to make it out of water, but Adams did not resurface.
Divers from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, the Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office and state police had planned to continue searching for Adams’ body through the night.
Police were also using rescue boats equipped with underwater radar.
Police said Adams was off-duty at the time of the incident.
