IGNACIO, Colo. (AP) -Volunteers and search crews have resumed their search for a 13-year-old boy who was reported missing Monday.

Officials say the search for Dylan Redwine resumed Sunday at Vallecito Lake with K-9 units, boats equipped with sonar, and a dive team from the New Mexico state police.

A spokesman for the La Plata County Sheriff's Office says 20 to 25 people are back at the lake Monday -- but water conditions and other factors are limiting the dive teams to spend no more than 30 minutes a day underwater.

About 200 people spent time over the weekend going door-to-door and handing out flyers in the Bayfield area where Dylan Redwine spent much of his time before moving to Colorado Springs.

The boy lives in Colorado Springs but was visiting his father in Vallecito on Thanksgiving break, according to the Durango Herald.

The missing boy is 5 feet tall, 105 pounds, with blond hair, blue eyes and fair complexion. He was last seen wearing a blue-and-white Duke Blue Devils baseball cap, black Nike T-shirt and black Jordan tennis shoes.
