The search for missing Indiana University student Lauren Spierer is at Lake Monroe Thursday.

Listen:


Divers with the Monroe County Sheriff's Department are back at the reservoir today, after getting the call Wednesday night.

Captain Mike Pershing with the Sheriff's Department says,"They went to the Monroe Reservoir area.  They used their boat and their sonar. The reason was because there was some information that the area needed to be searched."

Pershing says the dive team is facing some challenges because the murky waters of Lake Monroe make it difficult to see.
