team recovered the bodies of Jeremy's mother, grandmother and uncle about 30-40 feet from the lake's shoreline, in water that ranged from 8 to 15 feet deep.

eputies searched for the boy's family, but they couldn't find them. Unclaimed items littered the shore: A beach towel, a cellphone, a cooler with food and drinks, the four pairs of shoes. Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua's identification was among the items. A Yorkshire terrier wandered with no owners around.
From the evidence gathered, deputies thought they could be looking for three additional people. Detectives later spoke with Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua's sister who confirmed their fear and inclination: Her family had gone to the lake together and she hadn't heard from them since.
Investigators camped out beneath a canopy of oaks and evergreens near a gazebo, just southwest of the lake's Boat Ramp C. Orange cones marked evidence along the beach. Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua's sister picked up the car and terrier, Ray said.
