The search for a man who went missing while canoeing on Percy Priest Lake moved into its third day.
Dangerous conditions forced emergency crews to suspend the search over the weekend.
Those with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency said crews have been searching Percy Priest Lake for 36-year-old Jeremy Cross.

No evidence of Cross had been found. Authorities confirmed the search had gone from a rescue to a recovery mission.
Cross was on the lake Saturday evening with his son and a friend, identified as Mike Wells on Saturday.
Authorities said Cross' canoe capsized due to bad weather. He allegedly went under and did not resurface.
