On Friday, Acworth police said witnesses told them they saw a female, later identified as 46-year-old Darla Frey of Rockmart, on a raft in the water, then later observed the same raft without Frey.

Police said crews were out on the lake using sonar equipment from 5:00 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. Friday but was called off due to weather.
