RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) -

Authorities are using sonar and divers as they continue searching a southwest South Dakota lake for the body of a teenage boy who went missing while kayaking.

The search for 15-year-old Justin Lewis of Hill City was resuming Thursday morning, with sonar-equipped boats from the state Game, Fish and Parks Department and divers with the Rapid City/Pennington County Water Rescue Team. Deerfield Lake southwest of Rapid City remained closed to other boats.

Lewis was last seen on May 28 and he is presumed drowned.
