Divers are expected to search until about 4 p.m. again today.
BECKET – State police divers from Massachusetts and New York resumed the search Wednesday for James "Jamie" Lusher at Greenwater Pond.
The 16-year-old Lusher was last seen in Westfield on Nov. 6, 1992, and convicted serial child murderer Lewis S. Lent Jr. has admitted to killing Lusher. Lent told authorities he left the boy's body in the Becket Pond.
The search, which began Tuesday, was scheduled to last for three days.
Massachusetts State Police spokesman David Procopio said police began putting boats into the pond about 8:30 Wednesday, with 18 divers expected to search the pond along Route 20.
Divers ended their search around 4 p.m. Tuesday without finding any trace of the teenager.
"Leaves are so thick in some parts of the lake, side-sonar has not been as effective as hoped," Procopio said.
The divers are expected to search until about 4 p.m. again today.
