CADDO GAP, Ark. — Arkansas state police say the number of people missing after flash flooding on a pair of rivers is down to about two dozen.

But Capt. Mike Fletcher of the Arkansas State Police says there are about 24 people unaccounted for as of Saturday morning.

He says no survivors were found Saturday.

Rescue crews using horses, kayaks and ATVs have spread out across parts of Montgomery and Pike counties to search for survivors or victims.
