Search-and-rescue teams scoured the Kennebec River on Thursday for a 42-year-old man who police say may have entered the water earlier in the week and hasn’t been seen since. It’s believed John Lessard entered the river Monday near the north end of the RiverWalk downtown, Waterville police Sgt. Jason Longley said in a statement. Search efforts through the week have not turned up any sign of him.
