The search will continue for a Great Falls man who was reported missing Thursday at Lake Elwell, also called Tiber Reservoir, according to Liberty County Sheriff’s Office.
Liberty County Undersheriff/Deputy Coroner Doug Riggin said Saturday sonar and deep water divers will be brought in Sunday to search for a body in an area of the lake near Tiber Marina. Sonar equipment was not available Saturday, so no search was conducted, Riggin said.

John Kumm, 50, went on a fishing trip at Tiber on Thursday morning. Fishermen spotted Kumm’s empty boat Thursday but thought it had broken away from someone’s camp. They brought the boat to the marina, and when no one had claimed it by 6 p.m., an employee at the marina called the sheriff’s department.
“We’ve been searching for a missing person ever since then,” Riggin said Friday.
Riggin said Kumm is presumed to be dead but the death is not being ruled suspicious.
Tiber Reservoir is a large, man-made reservoir in southern Toole and Liberty counties on the Marias River popular with fishermen and recreationalists during the summer.
