Searchers recover second body from Lewisville Lake, authorities say
Searchers recovered the bodies of a man and a second person, described as female, from Lewisville Lake on Thursday, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
The recovery marked the third day of the search, the department said.
Advanced sonar joins search
The Texas Game Warden Underwater Search and Recovery Team joined the effort, deploying advanced sonar technology to help locate the two missing boaters, a TPWD spokesperson said.
Maggie Berger, public information officer for law enforcement at TPWD, said the agency is not identifying the two boaters "out of respect for their family's wishes." She added that the Denton County Medical Examiner's Office may be able to release their names.
Boat found abandoned Tuesday
Texas Game Wardens were initially dispatched to the scene on Tuesday after receiving a report of an abandoned vessel. Despite initial efforts, the boaters were not located before nightfall, TPWD officials said.
Multi-agency effort continues
The search resumed early Wednesday morning, with Game Wardens joined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as they combed the area. Efforts continued Thursday with the addition of the Underwater Search and Recovery Team, according to TPWD.
Officials said the investigation is ongoing.
