BUSHNELL, Fla. — The search for a Bushnell man who has been missing since June was renewed on Thursday after Sumter County Sheriff's Office obtained a lead into the investigation.

Thanks to a new lead, the Sheriff's Office went to investigate a pond on West Noble Avenue, near West Street, with its dive team, stated Michelle Keszey, SCSO's media relations person.

Carvajal-Hernandez was last seen at his home by his stepson, and has reportedly not been active on his social media. He also has not used his credit or debit card since he was last seen.

In late July, the Sheriff's Office began to search the family's home and backyard. In the yard they found human remains. 

While they waited for DNA results, investigators say they found leads pointing them to search a pond just a mile away from Hernandez's family home. 

On Thursday, divers were sent to search the bottom of the murky pond.

Authorities say the pond has only has a few feet of water, but it reportedly has several feet of thick muck underneath. They are doing a quadrant search since they are not sure what they are looking for. 

"It could be a bone, weapon, cellphone it could be anything. We just don't know if it could relate back to the investigation," Prevatt said.

Sumter County Sheriff's Office has 12 members of their dive team working rotating shifts in the grid search.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sumter County Sheriff's Office 352-793-2621 or call Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS (8477).
