Using sonar on boats, searchers have been going back and forth today, covering 4-square miles to find any new signs of Craig Decker.

On Saturday, he jumped off his boat trying to grab an oar and disappeared in the murky water of Utah Lake.

His father, Lyle Decker, thanked the search teams for their unstopping efforts and then said the family is at peace. He said, "We would like all of his friends to know that we are OK. We, as his family, have come to have a real sense of genuine, personal peace."

He says he's sure his son's body will be found.

Today fewer search teams were out on the water so the sonar could get clearer image.
