Posted

Early Sunday evening a call came into the Carroll County Central Dispatch concerning a possible drowning.
The call concerned a man not arriving back on shore after attempting to swim to a landmark in Beaver Lake near the Beaver Campground located in the town of Beaver.
Information from the 911 call stated that a man had tried to swim to the old train bridge.
After not locating the man in the campground area, the Mennonite Search and Rescue team, Benton County Dive Team and the Holiday Island Fire Department and Office of Emergency Serves were all called to search for the body of 30-year old Marvin Stephens.

The Mennonite team deployed an underwater sonar system and was able to locate Stephens in a short time.
Stephens was from Seligman, Mo.
Water conditions can change quickly.
