AmbulanceSearchers are back out on the Missouri River this morning looking for a missing student from Briar Cliff University in Sioux City who was last seen swimming in the Missouri River Sunday evening.

Union County South Dakota officials say 23-year-old Tom Patterson from Frostburg, Maryland was swimming across the river with friends near Elk Point, South Dakota when he disappeared. A prayer vigil for Patterson was held at Briar Cliff by students and staff Monday night.
