Crews search lake for missing duck hunter in northwest Chicago suburbs

LAKE VILLA, Ill. (CBS) -- Rescue crews were searching Monday afternoon for a missing duck hunter in the northwest suburbs.

As CBS 2's Kris Habermehl reported, dive teams and rescue boats from several northwest suburban fire departments – including Lake Villa and Antioch – were searching Fourth Lake in unincorporated Lake Villa for the missing duck hunter late Monday.

The Lake County Sonar team and side scan were also on the scene. A total of five boats were deployed to work the surface of the lake.

Officials said an unidentified 57-year-old man went duck hunting Monday. His boat was recovered, and his personal property and belongings were found at a nearby duck blind.

But the hunter himself had not been seen. It was believed that he ended up in the water.

The search was halted for the night and will resume Tuesday morning, according to the Lake Villa Fire Department.
