EDINBURGH, Ind. (AP) _ Authorities are searching for a teenage boy who vanished after he jumped into water beneath a central Indiana dam to help rescue a trapped girl.

 
Conservation Officer Lt. Bill Browne tells The Republic  a teenage girl swimming with four teenage boys was swept over the Edinburgh dam at the Big Blue River around noon Friday and became trapped in an area where water rolls in a roiling motion.
 
The other teens attempted to rescue her and Browne says one of them and the girl were found floating face-down.
 
Two others made it out of the water on their own, but a 17-year-old boy remained missing about 30 miles south of Indianapolis.
 
Conservation Officer Jet Quillen says the girl and boy are breathing on their own at a Franklin hospital.
