A pond off Holly Bush Church Road began to be drained Tuesday night as 
the search for a teenager missing since January continues.

Wayne County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Geoffery Clark confirmed 
Wednesday night that the pond was bend drained in the hopes of locating 
John Quavontae Gandy, 19, who has been missing since Jan. 8.

Clark said the department has been working on a plan for about a month 
and were finally able to get sufficient pumping equipment. He added that 
the pond should be low enough to investigate the area thoroughly by some 
time Thursday.

The public is being kept away and deputies are on site around the clock 
as the pond is located on private property and is a possible crime 
scene.
