A body was recovered from Folsom Lake on Friday morning and there is a possibility that is one of the four missing boaters from May 10's deadly speedboat accident.
The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office and State Park Rangers responded to a call from a citizen who spotted the body at 9:50 a.m.
The male adult was found near the mouth of the American River. Helicopters were called into the area in hopes of finding the other missing boaters presumed dead in the crash of a speed boat who witnesses say was going 100 m.p.h.
The missing men are identified as Toby Strauch, 54, James Strauch, 47, Jake Jacobs, 53, and Jon Smith, 48, all of the Sacramento area.
The Sheriff's Office has initiated a coroner’s investigation to determine the identity of the individual and his cause of death.
