Crew searches lake in Eagan for body

Rescue and recovery personnel are searching a lake in Eagan after a state helicopter pilot spotted what he thought was a body floating in the water.

KARE-TV reports an Eagan officer on patrol found a vehicle near McDonough Lake Wednesday that's believed to belong to a woman who was said to be distressed.

Searchers are trying to determine whether the woman is in the lake. A diver from the Dakota County Sheriff's Department will conduct an underwater search.
