Search for 2 missing snowmobilers on Conesus Lake

Authorities in Livingston County continue the search for two missing snowmobilers on Conesus Lake.

Livingston County Sheriff Tom Dougherty tells Time Warner Cable News the 911 center received a call  to report the two missing men, who were last seen on Saturday.

First responders found snowmobile tracks going from the home of one of the men onto the ice-covered lake.

Using a drone, deputies followed those tracks and found they looped back west about 250 feet from the shore. They also discovered two helmets.

Dougherty says they deployed a robot underwater that uses a camera and sonar to search.

The search is expected to resume on Monday.
