STAR, Idaho — Six deputies with the Ada County Sheriff's Office dive team searched five miles of the Boise River Thursday for 19-year-old Ezekiel Vargas.
Unfortunately, the deputies were not able to find any sign of him.
On June 5, the Nampa teen went missing after while swimming with friends in the Boise River near Star Road and Main Street.
Ever since, officials, family and volunteers have done multiple and intensive searches along the river banks in hopes to find any trace of the young man. The searches also included a helicopter and drones.
Officials believe he was swept up in the cold and fast-moving water.
Ada County says they remain in contact with Canyon County sheriff's marine deputies who are keeping a close eye on the Boise River downstream of Star.
