Shaik went missing near the ferry Saturday and was last seen struggling in the water off the riverbank, according to the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office. A contingent of law enforcement and rescue personnel searched the waterway and riverbank, utilizing multiple boats and a helicopter, until 10 p.m. that evening.
