After hours of  searching, the El Dorado County search and rescue team did not find a body at Cascade Lake.

A hiker on April 9 had told deputies she had seen a body floating in Cascade Lake. She had been hiking near the shoreline on the north east portion of Cascade Lake. She said that the body floated up toward the surface of the water and then sank back down and went out of view. The hiker returned to the lake and directed a deputy to the exact location of the sighting.

The department does not have any reports of missing or lost persons in the vicinity of Cascade Lake.

The dive team and CalStar could not locate a body.
