HOLLENBACK TOWNSHIP — A man swimming in Wapwallopen Creek has gone missing, according to police reports.
Brenden Snyder, 22 of Mifflinburg was last seen on Saturday night around 6:30 p.m. at the “Powder Hole” in Hollenback Township. Snyder and a friend were jumping off of a steel bridge structure down into the swimming hole.
Snyder attempted to jump from the bridge into the water, but fell instead. He went underneath the water and never resurfaced.
Multiple agencies responded to the scene in the hopes of a water rescue, but the conditions beneath the waterfall were much too turbulent to attempt the rescue.
A second search was conducted on Sunday, with negative results.
Anyone with information regarding Snyder is asked to call the State Police at Hazleton at 570-459-3890.
