The kayaker, Dan Pham, left from Lester Beach on his way to boat camp in Emerald Bay. Pham never arrived.<\/p>\n<p>An extensive search effort was conducted by El Dorado County Sheriff\u2019s Office Search and Rescue (SAR), El Dorado County Sheriff\u2019s Office Marine unit, California State Parks, Douglas County Sheriff\u2019s Office SAR, Douglas County Sheriff\u2019s Office Marine unit, United States Coast Guard, and Alameda County Sheriff\u2019s Office. During this search, SAR K9 teams located an area of interest off Rubicon Point, but Pham was not located.<\/p>\n<p>On August 26, 2017, a non-profit group called Bruce\u2019s Legacy (from Wisconsin) arrived to assist. Bruce\u2019s Legacy has located 18 drowning victims in just four years by using state of the art side scan sonar, Tow Fish sonar, an underwater remote operating vehicle (ROV), and years of operating experience. Bruce\u2019s Legacy assisted in another recovery in Lake Tahoe in July, and made a recovery at Stampede Reservoir a few days ago. \u00a0Utilizing their side scan sonar, Bruce&#8217;s Legacy located Dan Pham in 245 feet of water off of Rubicon Point, in the area of K9 alerts. Pham\u2019s body was recovered after being brought to the surface by the ROV operated by Bruce&#8217;s Legacy. \u00a0The El Dorado County Sheriff&#8217;s Office Coroner Division and South Lake Tahoe Detectives are handling this investigation.<\/p>\n<p>The Pham family was extremely grateful for the efforts made by everyone and thankful their loved one can be put to rest. \u00a0The El Dorado County Sheriff&#8217;s Office extends our deepest condolences to the Pham Family.<\/p>\n<p>Refer to below link\u00a0for extra information.<\/p>\n<p><a>http:\/\/www.bruceslegacy.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDSO Lieutenant James Byers] On June 8, 2017, the El Dorado County Sheriff\u2019s Office assisted California State Parks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","darknews-slider-full":"","darknews-featured":"","darknews-medium":"","darknews-medium-square":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"News MoLo","author_link":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/author\/admin\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/News\/news\/\" rel=\"category tag\">News<\/a>","tag_info":"News","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6487"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6487"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6487\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6488,"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6487\/revisions\/6488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.newsmolo.com\/EDC\/2019\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
