Rivera, 33, and her son, Josey Dorsey, 4, went missing this week after going on a trip to Lake Piru in Ventura County, California. They rented a pontoon boat on Wednesday afternoon and also went swimming before their disappearance.

The staff went looking for Rivera after the three-hour rental for the boat became overdue for return. Dorsey was found sleeping in the drifting boat by the north side of the lake.
