Several Garner police officers, deputies from the Wake County Sheriff's Office, Town of Garner fire trucks, and boats were seen in the area.
During a news conference, authorities said they were searching for 26-year-old James Joseph Hipp, who they believe was trying to harm himself. They said clues were found in his vehicle after a Garner police officer spotted a suspicious car in the area on Sunday.
First responders will resume a water search Tuesday morning. The park will remain closed Monday evening, and a decision on reopening the park will be made Tuesday morning.
Anyone with information on Hipp's location is asked to contact the Garner Police Department at (919) 772-8810.
