Columbus police confirm  divers have pulled the body of a missing swimmer from the Scioto River.  The teen disappeared in the water Thursday while in a no-swimming zone near the Greenlawn Avenue bridge with a friend.  Swirling currents from a nearby dam and the bridge apparently pulled the teen under. The other teen was able to swim to safety.  Police say the victim is 17-year-old Caleb Faught of Columbus.
