JUNE 20, 2:10 P.M. UPDATE:
Placer County authorities will continue to search for three missing men in Rattlesnake Falls but in an ongoing limited capacity. 
 
In its latest update, the sheriff's office says aerial surveys of the location and overall area will be conducted, as weather conditions allow. 
 
Crews have been searching for the trio since Wednesday when three other hikers told them they saw the three men jump into the water and did not resurface. 
 
"Once conditions improve, anticipated by Sunday, a coordinated plan is in place to return to the site with enhanced equipment and support from mutual aid partners to further the search efforts."
 
9:40 P.M. UPDATE:
The Placer County Sheriff's Office has suspended search operations for three men who may have drowned in Rattlesnake Falls near Soda Springs, citing poor underwater visibility.
 
In a post on Facebook, the Sheriff's Office said visibility issues were being caused by debris and strong currents.
 
The PCSO also said increasing winds made flying conditions unsafe.
 
Dive team members were taken back to the command post to conclude efforts for the evening.
 
ORIGINAL ARTICLE:
 
Placer County authorities are searching for three men who may have drowned in Rattlesnake Falls near Soda Springs. 
 
Deputies say they responded to the area shortly before 3 p.m. on Wednesday. (Deputies initially said Heath Falls, but have since said it happened near Rattlesnake Falls.)
 
They say officers met with other people who told them the three men were hiking when they jumped into the water and did not resurface.
 
A CHP helicopter later evacuated the first three men Wednesday evening. 
 
Multiple resources have been deployed for the search, including the Sheriff’s Office Dive Team, Search and Rescue units, CAL FIRE’s Technical Rescue Team, and CHP’s helicopter.
 
"The terrain is extremely remote and difficult to access, making rescue efforts especially challenging," the sheriff's office says in a Facebook post.
