Search continues for Las Vegas teen swept into surf

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. — The search continues for an 18-year-old Nevada resident who was swept off rocks into the ocean at a Southern California beach.

Capt. Steve Concialdi of the Orange County Fire Authority says searchers resumed their efforts at daybreak Tuesday.

Anthony Parnell was last seen in the water off Laguna Beach Sunday afternoon.

Friends say Parnell was on the rocks just south of Thousand Steps Beach when he was hit by high surf and washed away.

Parnell's parents say Parnell played football at Centennial High School in Las Vegas and had recently signed up for the Army.
