Boulder City, NV (AP) - The body of a woman reported missing last week has been recovered from Lake Mohave in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, authorities said Monday.
Authorities said the woman reportedly was not wearing a life jacket, and the death was being investigated as a drowning.
The name of the 39-year-old woman wasn’t immediately released.
National Park Service rangers said a witness called 911 on Saturday to report that a woman went missing from the back bay area of Katherine Landing Marina.
Rangers responded and began search and rescue efforts until midnight Saturday, then resumed Sunday with assistance from Mohave County, Arizona dive personnel.
Authorities said the victim’s body was recovered Sunday afternoon and the county medical examiner’s office has been contacted.
