A dive team is trying to recover a car submerged in water northwest of Hampton that is believed to be that of a missing area man.

Franklin County Sheriff Aaron Dodd says this is near one of the last locations Ethan Kazmerzak was seen on September 15th, 2013. Kazmerzak of Hampton has been missing ever since that day along with his vehicle until the car was found now.

Dodd says this is a body of water that has been searched two times prior, looking for evidence of Kazmerzak and his vehicle.
