A body was found during a search for a teen who went missing Thursday afternoon near Steelhead Beach along the Russian River, officials said Friday.

Sonoma County sheriff's Deputy Rob Dillion said Friday crews were searching for one of two teenagers reported missing at 4:39 p.m. One of them was found and brought to a hospital, but the second person is still missing.

"It is too early for an official confirmation from our coroner detectives," the sheriff's office said in an email to NBC Bay Area on Friday. "However, we did locate someone in our search we believe could possibly be our missing person."

The initial search started late Thursday and resumed Friday morning with the Sheriff's Office dive team marine unit and the Napa County Sheriff's Office marine unit.
