The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is continuing to search Castaic Lake for paddleboarder Espiridion Philip Camez, who has been missing since Sunday.
Tuesday marks the third day of searching for 61-year-old Camez, who was last seen around 12:30 p.m. Sunday when he and a friend fell in the water while paddleboarding in the lower lagoon at Castaic Lake.
Camez’s paddleboard has been recovered, but investigators are still searching the area for his whereabouts with the assistance of the Sheriff’s Department Special Enforcement Bureau-Emergency Services Detail, according to the LASD.
Investigators believe that he may not have been wearing a life jacket at the time of his disappearance while on the water.
Search teams indicated that the operation has shifted to a recovery effort, rather than a rescue.
The investigation is ongoing, and no additional information is currently available.
Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.
