Crews Searching for Man at Barren River Lake

Kentucky Department of Parks

Crews are searching Barren River Lake for a man who went underwater while swimming and didn't resurface.

Glasgow-Barren County Emergency Management Director Tracy Shirley told media that the man was reported missing Sunday while cliff diving with friends at an area known as the Narrows.

Meanwhile, the bodies of two other men reported missing in waterways in the region over the last few days have been recovered.

The Daily News in Bowling Green reports 59-year-old Joe Hartman was pulled on Monday from Nolin Lake. Deputy Grayson County Coroner Larry Holeman said it appears he lost his balance and fell from his boat.

On Sunday, crews pulled the body of 42-year-old Phillip Leedy of Bowling Green from the Green River, where he had been canoeing.
