SENECA -- Authorities are looking for a 22-year-old Indiana man who has been missing on Lake Keowee for more than a day and is presumed drowned.

Oconee County Emergency Management Director Scott Krein said Brian Lewis Smith’s paddleboat was found Saturday morning, several hours after he was last seen on the lake.

Krein says divers are in the water searching for the man. Dogs are in boats trying to find his scent and a sheriff’s office helicopter is helping authorities.

Smith is from Anderson, Ind.
