'Glee' Star Naya Rivera's Close Family and Friends Await Updates Regarding Her Disappearance
Naya Rivera from “Glee” went missing on Wednesday with her young son. Her family is now waiting to see what will happen next as they haven’t heard anything yet.
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.
