First responders in Sullivan County have been searching for 17 year old Liony Santos of Peekskill since Sunday. He was camping with friends near the Cedar Rapids area. Santos and another friend were swimming in the river when they were swept away by strong currents. One of the boys was saved. Santos father says: "I need someone to bring my boy home. Whether he is alive or not. Please bring him home." This is the fifth young man to drown in the upper Delaware in one week. First responders and park rangers continue to urge all swimmers, boaters and rafters to wear a life jacket.
