The search for a missing Logan County teen will continue Friday morning. Crews with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources spent today scanning Salt Creek for signs of 18-year-old Billy Ray Eskew. He was last seen Tuesday morning at a camp site with friends. Department Spokesman Chris McCloud says search crews used special sonar to search the creek. It's the same equipment used when three people drowned in Clinton Lake last March.
