Search Continues For Missing Texas Kayaker In Arkansas
BEAUMONT, Texas (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — The search continues in north Arkansas for a Texas man who went missing while kayaking on the White River.
Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery says authorities began searching for the man after getting a call around 1 p.m. Saturday that he had gone under in the White River and had not resurfaced.

The water level in the White River was high and the current was swift.
