SMITHVILLE, Tenn. — Authorities say the investigation into a Nashville surgeon who disappeared on a Middle Tennessee lake is still being treated as a missing person case.
Dr. William Coltharp vanished Oct. 2nd 2011 while kayaking on Center Hill Lake about 60 miles east of Nashville.
Last week, authorities recovered Coltharp's kayak with a life jacket and laptop computer inside.
The computer has been sent to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to see if any data could be recovered.
DeKalb County Sheriff Patrick Ray said witnesses saw a man matching Coltharp's description load a cinder block into the kayak before paddling onto the lake.
Authorities said a cadaver dog hit on something Saturday, but it turned out to be nothing.
Coltharp was a standout football player at Mississippi State University.

Its been a full year since a Nashville surgeon went missing while kayaking on Center Hill Lake.
The disappearance of 55 year old Dr. William Coltharp, who was last seen on October 2, 2011 is still considered a "missing person" case and no foul play is suspected at this time, according to Sheriff Patrick Ray.
An intensive search for Dr. Coltharp continued for several weeks after he went missing.
Meanwhile, the family of Dr. Coltharp is offering a reward of $10,000 for the recovery of any body-remains, clothing, and or personal effects of Dr. Coltharp who is believed to be deceased. He was last seen wearing a Khaki-colored cotton pull over with zipper and leather elbows, jeans, and sandals. Any items found should be taken to the sheriff's department. The reward is only payable from the death proceeds of insurance policies insuring Dr. Coltharp's life which are payable to Dr. Coltharp's wife and or children.http://www.wjle.com/news/2012/one-year-after-his-disappearance-dr-william-coltharp-still-missing
