Ventura County Sheriff’s Office senior deputy Miguel Gonzalez stated: ‘Unfortunately, until the body is recovered we definitely won’t know what actually happened with her, whether it be something medically or if she did have any trauma prior to going down beneath the water. ‘
'And until we recover the body we probably won’t find the answers to those questions.’
Last week, Rivera's 4-year-old son, Josey, was found alone on a boat on Lake Piru. Josey has since informed authorities that his mother never returned to the boat while they were swimming.
