Volunteers search the Androscoggin River on Thursday for the time capsule that went missing during the December 2023 flood, which left Veterans Memorial Park in Lewiston underwater. Justin Petelle, left, Rick Carney, Michael Patricks and Paul St. Clair searched the river below Great Falls. L&A Veterans Council Chairman Jerry DeWitt said that the capsule was not located Thursday and the volunteers would continue searching downriver on Friday. The capsule is filled with keepsakes that were left after a replica of the Vietnam Wall visited the park in 2007. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal
