A rescue operation has become a recovery operation for a teen who went missing after entering the West River in New Haven early Thursday morning, according to New Haven Fire Chief Dan Coughlin. About four and a half hours into the search, officials announced they were transitioning from a rescue operation to a recovery operation. As of 9 p.m., the teen was not found and the search was suspended until Friday morning, officials said. Coughlin said the search area stretches from the West River to the Long Island Sound and through the City Point Yacht Club. Authorities are asking people to avoid the area as the recovery operation continues.
