Police Give New Details On Naya Rivera's Disappearance
The Ventura County Sheriff's Department held a press conference to give new details on Naya Rivera’s disappearance. They stated they're still searching for the actress using divers and specialized equipment to scan the reservoir. Since visibility in the water is very limited, divers have been using sonar to scan the bottom of the lake. In addition, cadaver dogs are assisting the search team.
Capt. Eric Buschow said he was in close contact with the actress' family, adding that "they are going through an extremely difficult time." Meanwhile, Sgt. Kevin Donoghue said he believed the actress' disappearance was accidental, stating that after interviewing her son there was nothing that suggested she had committed suicide. “Everything that we've learned so far leads to this being some sort of water recreational accident," he told PEOPLE.
Rivera’s four-year-old son was with his mother when she went missing on Wednesday. According to law enforcement, the actress and her son had rented a pontoon on Lake Piru in Ventura to go swimming. However, staff at the rental office became suspicious after three hours had passed and went out to the pontoon where they found the young boy alone in the boat.
An hour later, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department began searching for the 33-year-old actress. The department issued a statement on Thursday saying that more than 100 law enforcement and emergency personnel were searching for Riviera in Lake Piru, suspecting that the actress had accidentally drowned.
Despite statements from authorities, Rivera’s family and Friends still held out hope that the actress would be found alive. Given that the man-made reservoir is known for its harsh conditions such as debris, low visibility, whirlpools, strong winds and cold-water temperatures, numerous drownings have taken place over the years.
The search for Rivera it now heading into its fifth day. California authorities released security footage on Friday that showed Rivera and her son boarding the rental boat alone, therefore, foul play is not suspected. The Glee actress was married to actor Ryan Dorsey, but the couple divorced after four years in 2018. Their son, Josey Hollis was born in September 2015.
