The search for a missing Ft. Knox soldier continued Tuesday at Taylorsville Lake, after the 22-year-old man disappeared while swimming Saturday.

U.S. Army Spc. Anthony M. Carter was reported missing by acquaintances at 4:15 p.m. May 29 – exactly one year after the last drowning at the lake.

Witnesses told law enforcement that Carter swam to retrieve a floating soda can about 80 yards from their rented pontoon boat. The last time he was spotted, Carter was making his way back to the boat.
