Authorities were out Wednesday using some large equipment and an Iowa National Guard helicopter to search the Cedar River for missing La Porte City teenager Jake Wilson who disappeared on April 7. Black Hawk County Sheriff Tony Thompson said the weather and water levels were cooperating Wednesday. Workers used heavy equipment to break up log jams in Wolf Creek and the Cedar River. Thompson said they also used a CS 47 helicopter to hover over the water, using the down draft to disturb the water in Wolf Creek, in the hopes it free an object trapped under the water. Two teams in kayaks made their way down the creek to see if it did. Thompson says authorities will not stop until they bring Jake home.
