Yellowstone scales back search for missing swimmer

After nine days of intensive searching, authorities in Yellowstone National Park are scaling back their efforts to find a missing swimmer.

Feiyang “Isaac” Xiang, a 21-year old seasonal concessionaire employee from China, was last seen being swept down the Yellowstone River on Thursday, July 23.

The park is continuing limited, periodic searches of the river corridor downstream from where Xiang disappeared in the northern section of the park.
