In a press conference, Ventura County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Eric Buschow said there was "no evidence of foul play at this point," as the Guardian reports, adding, "this may well be a case of drowning."

Rivera rented a boat with her son on Wednesday afternoon, according to CNN, and they went out onto the lake together. About three hours later, Josey was found asleep on the drifting boat by another boater, who alerted authorities. Rivera's son reportedly told investigators that he and his mother went swimming together, but Rivera did not get back on the boat. Josey was wearing a life vest, while an adult life vest was found on the boat alongside Rivera's ID.

Search efforts were suspended on Wednesday night, and will be resumed "at first light" on Thursday morning, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office said.
