RAWLINS, Wyo. (AP) - Officials in south-central Wyoming have suspended their search for a 25-year-old man who is missing and presumed drowned after a kayaking accident.

Searchers spent six days looking for Michael G. Proberts of Wamsutter.

The Carbon County sheriff’s office says Proberts was reported missing on April 16 after he traveled to Seminoe Reservoir the day before to go kayaking.



Searchers spotted his kayak, paddle, life vest and ball cap, but were unable to find Proberts.
