Naya Marie Rivera, an American actress, model, and singer is still missing and the search continues after she went missing from a lake in Southern California.

From what Amebo9ja have gathered, According to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, Rivera came to Lake Piru in Ventura County, California, north of Los Angeles, around 1 p.m. PST on Wednesday.

She rented a boat, and she and her son were seen going out on the lake together, Sheriff’s Capt. Eric Buschow said in a news conference.

About three hours after they left the dock, another boater out on the lake discovered a boat drifting with the child asleep on board.

The boat was found in the area called “The Narrows” on the north end of the lake.

Authorities were notified and they began search and rescue efforts from the air and with a dive team.

Buschow said it was difficult to get information from the child, who told them they went swimming, but his mother didn’t get back on the boat when he did.

The child had a life vest on and an adult life vest was found on the boat, according to Buschow.

“We’re presuming that an accident happened and we’re presuming she drowned in the lake,” said Deputy Chris Dyer at a press conference Thursday. “We hope for the best, we prepare for the worst.”

The boat Rivera rented was a pontoon with a deck cover and the rental operator did not notice anything out of the ordinary, Dyer said.

The boat was found on the north end of the lake where wind is often a factor in boating conditions.

Dyer said the depth of the lake can run anywhere from 6 to 40 feet and the bottom of the lake has a lot of debris.

He also said Rivera’s son was healthy and with family.

According to CNN, Divers searched parts of the vast lake Thursday, noting that the murky waters and debris lowered visibility to as little as one to two feet.



The lake has tree branches and overgrowth so divers have been digging through downed trees and a heavy brush bottom.

“Under the water, it’s a lot by feel again, a lot of shrubbery and sticks we have to break through. It’s kind of a braille search,” said Max O’Brien, Ventura County Search and Rescue diver. “This lake doesn’t really have a current so anything that usually drops will stay; if it reaches the bottom, it will stay on the bottom.”

Ventura County Sheriff’s Deputy Miguel Gonzalez said usually a body resurfaces after 3 days depending on what the person was wearing and had eaten.

Celebs and fans have been talking about Rivera on social media since news broke of her disappearance.
