He is 6 feet 1 inches tall, weighs 194 pounds, and has brown eyes. He was wearing a black coat and hat with blue jeans. The family is very concerned with his well-being as he may be in need of some medical assistance, the post said.

In a related matter, the Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Department is also continuing its search for a Lakewood Man whose vehicle was found submerged in Chautauqua Lake.

It is believed that on March 3, Daniel Scott Emerson drove across a frozen Chautauqua Lake. His truck was located in the lake March 16 near the bridge between pillars 3 and 4. Weather conditions prevented it from being removed that day, but it was pulled out four days later.

When the truck was removed, there wasn’t anybody inside. The back driver’s side window was rolled down, so authorities think Emerson may have tried to escape.

“We don’t have any reason to believe that he’s not in the lake, so we are going to follow up on that,” Chautauqua County Sheriff Jim Quattrone said. “We’re continuing to follow up on any leads.”

Quattrone said as the weather begins to get better and the lake begins to warm, the sheriff’s dive team will be back in the water. The sheriff added that officials are continuing to shoreline searches on both the Bemus Point and Stow sides of the lake.

As the temperature gets warmer, the sheriff noted, the county’s navigation patrol will be on the lake on a regular basis.

Quattrone said that there is so much debris under the bridge, that Emerson’s body may be caught on something. Dive teams have used sonar, and also used canines to help with the search.

“We will go back out with sonar, and as the water warms up, we want to bring our divers out again, around the bridge area,” Quattrone said.

In the warmer water, divers can stay submerged for longer periods of time whereas in colder water, the temperature interferes with the air and their bodies, Quattrone said.
