In a follow-up to a story we reported Wednesday, search teams called off the search Wednesday afternoon for a man who went missing in Wheeler Lake the night before.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said it suspended the search for Derek Lane, 56, due to weather and water conditions.

Teams were called to the lake at the end of Motter Drive around 9 p.m. Tuesday. Marine Patrol officials said Lane was on a boat with another man when he either fell off the boat or deliberately jumped into the lake.

The other boater told authorities Lane told him he would just swim to the dock, but he never came out of the water.

Rescue teams plan to resume the search for Lane (today) Thursday.
