The search for Timothy Panella and Richard Skoland is ongoing, but has been scaled back.

The two men have been missing since a boating accident on the Delaware River on April 3. A third man, Ronald Priest, made it to land and reported the incident.
 
Rangers at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area are conducting daily boat patrols of the search area, looking for signs of the missing men. Extremely cold water temperatures lead the National Park Service (NPS) to believe that the bodies of the two men remain submerged somewhere within the overall search area. The New Jersey State Police and Pennsylvania State Police plan to continue daily helicopter flights over the river corridor, as their schedules permit.
 
On Monday, April 14, the U.S. Coast Guard, from Air Station Atlantic City, conducted a helicopter flight over the river corridor, with River District Ranger A.J. North on board. The Coast Guard flight provided a clear sense of the large scope and complexity of the search environment. Water clarity has improved to about six feet, but there are still many areas of the river where the depth exceeds that level of visibility.
 
Multiple agencies and volunteer organizations have been involved in the search effort since it began on April 3, including personnel from Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, Valley Forge National Historical Park, the NPS Northeast Region Exotic-Invasive Plant Management Team, New Jersey State Police Marine Services Unit and dive T.E.A.M., New Jersey State Police Aviation Bureau, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, Pennsylvania Game Commission, Pennsylvania State Police Aviation Division, Bushkill Fire Company, Bushkill Fire Company Auxiliary, Dingman Township Volunteer Fire Company, Hemlock Farms Volunteer Fire Company, Northampton Fire Department, Port Jervis Fire Department, Portland Hook and Ladder Company, Pike County K-9, Ramapo Rescue Dog Association, and the Garden State Underwater Recovery Unit.
 
The NPS dive team completed more than 90 operational dives from Tuesday, April 8 through Sunday, April 13.
 
Boaters, anglers, and other river users are urged to wear their PFD’s when on or near the river and to call (800) 543-4295 to report anything that might bring this search to a close.
