TCSO says it has been searching during daylight hours every day since he was reported missing, but efforts to find him have been unsuccessful so far.
Starfish surface search sonar, side scan sonar, down scan sonar and underwater cameras have been used to try and find Dillon. APD EOD deep divers searched potential targets identified via sonar, and aerial searches were conducted by DPS 100 helicopter.
TCSO Lake Patrol Deputies along with LCRA and Jonestown PD also operated sonar, conducted grid searches, and shoreline searches. Texas Search & Rescue K9s have also been a part of the search efforts. The water depth in the search area is 70-90 feet, according to TCSO.
