GREAT FALLS, Md. (WUSA9) -- The search for a missing 21-year-old swimmer, who went missing Wednesday afternoon near Great Falls has continued, officials said.

The missing swimmer has been identified as 21-year-old Marco Reyes-Sanchez from Reston.

Two men in their twenties were swimming when one of them got caught in the current, officials said. They had gone in the river from the Virginia shoreline near Sandy Landing. One man left the water, and the other was last seen floating down the river near Great Falls Wednesday afternoon. Nearby kayakers tried to help him but were unsuccessful.

Difficult run is a great swimming hole there. You won't drown. Just careful jumping off the rocks into the water. Going in the Potomac above g-town is just plain stupid

I concur with Your Lawn Guy.

The spotted gar that hang out in the Potomac between its junction with the Occoquan and Chesapeake Bay are probably feasting on Marco.

Potomac river looks tranquil from above but be very careful, underwater there is a strong current. There's even whirlpools just under the water, so be very careful and don't trust that water.

"The missing swimmer has been identified as 21-year-old Marco Reyes-Sanchez from Reston."

Probably trying to show his friends how several years ago he made it across the Rio Grande into el Norte.

every year 1 or 2 incidents people dead there

they put signs there

more interesting lately mexicans and asians have hired themselves as "park authorities" and have spent tax money hiring themselves to "improve the park"

obviously more stern warning signs weren't part of that

really the signs say everything except "we'll shoot you if you go in the water" - every year there are 1 or 2 that dont beleive in protecting their life

ON THE OTHER HAND it could be a way to hide a gang murder from herndon - you never know when you get mexicans dying because they're killing each other all over the place fires knifes and what else

Some of you people posting on here are despicable. I was THERE and I was the one that called the fucking police when I saw it happen. I watched him drown in front of me. Your racist remarks and "Marco Polo" bullshit is horrible. Have some fucking respect for the dead.

"A weed whacker now lays lonely against the side of a shed never to be used again"

FXU Classic

Why Did He illegally Enter The US. Yankee Go Home?? Illegal Go Home,

That said I applaud the kayakers who tried to save him, I would have done the same even if he was illegal as he was a human. Then he could go home. Gratis.
But I would not have turned him in either. Live and let live and CLOSE The BORDER. It will all work out in the end.

Rest in the arms of Jesus Forever Marco . It was not your fault. You did what you felt you had to do in life.

I DID TRY TO SAVE HIM. you people are fucking despicable and I hope each and every person making remarks against him go to hell. I was the one that called it in, I was ON THE GROUND directing search efforts when the four search boats and helicopter came in. Hell I was even the one that flagged down both kayakers from the top of a cliff where I saw it all happen! I hope you racist bastards sleep easy knowing that you are LAUGHING at the death of a 21 year old HUMAN. fuck! people on the internet are so dense.

I was there and heroically did my part to save him. I prayed for him as he floated downstream. When do I get invited to the White House for a medal?

If they want to find the body , all they had to do is look for a grease stain.

No, but there are a lot of folks searching in every body of water. You can hear the calling out his name, "Marco!"

Another example of a local contractor killing a worker and hiding the body to avoid paying them.
