When the spear fisherman was missing last year near the dam, it was weeks before they found him. Once it's deep, water clarity is terrible they say.

Tragic nonetheless.

Good news for the family.

They found her body late this evening.

A sonar image turned up something worth investigating and the dive team was called in. Just got the update feed and she was recovered.

The family brought in a specialist from up north and the sonar picked up something.

Very glad they have found her so the family can mourn properly and hold funeral proceedings.

Wow thanks for sharing. I can't imagine. Hope there is some relief now.

The same Wisconsin team volunteered for the search when it first happened but was turned away by the Benton County authorities, per KNWA last evening.. .. After the futile search for a week, the Hernandez family approached the Wisconsin team and asked for help. They came down here with their sonar equipment and the Hernandez family paid for their expenses and the Embassy Suites even donated a room to the team.

Not sure how much of these are true but just heard it from KNWA last evening...

Cannot imagine what the family had gone through....So glad that the family has closure, even though it is not exactly positive. :(

She drowned in 110FOW, I couldnt imagine...

The family has to be devastated, escpecially with a 15 month old baby. Very very sad

Evidently they can. Must be a "official proceedings" thing.

I also asked if they needed any volunteers since I have side scan and I am setup to see all kinds of things underwater. Foundations, trees, etc. I was also told no by the water patrol.

I'm glad the group that found her was brought back in. It would haunt me to know my relative was simply out there somewhere and lost.
