BOULDER CITY, Nevada - National Park Service rangers, Boulder City police, Las Vegas Metropolitan police and numerous friends and family have been searching for a female swimmer who went missing June 24.
The search has included vessels, underwater cameras, divers, helicopters and walking the shorelines. Around 10:39 a.m. June 27, the victim was found by a boater and recovered by rangers.
The Clark County Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death. The incident is under investigation.
“Officers, friends and family dedicated many hours, hoping for the best. We are saddened by the outcome of this search. We have had care teams offering support to the family for the past several days, and we will continue to be there for them through this difficult time," said Superintendent Margaret L. Goodro.
Boaters are advised that swimming and boating conditions will be hazardous on Sunday with gusts up to 40-50 miles per hour, creating 2-4-foot waves. These winds will be strong enough to swamp small craft and blow inflatable toys into the middle of the lake. Swimming is discouraged; life jackets are strongly recommended.
