          members prepare to search the muddy waters of the New River Thursday
          afternoon while a tow truck hooks up the car driven by an elderly 
          man who, witnesses reported, jumped from the Peppers Ferry Bridge on
          Virginia 114. A motorist told police she saw a man with one leg over
          the rail; she looked again, and the man was gone. A fisherman 
          reported seeing a splash about 3 p.m. but did not see anyone 
          surface.
