LOUISA COUNTY, Iowa — A manhunt is underway in the area of Columbus Junction, according to the Louisa County Sheriff's Office.

In a Facebook post published at 11:33 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 26, the sheriff's office said they are currently conducting an active manhunt in search of Brian Calvin. In a 1:30 p.m. update, officials said the Columbus Junction Police Department, Winfield Police and sheriff's office have conducted multiple searches with a K9 and drone but that Calvin has still not been located.
