'Glee' Actress Naya Rivera Missing, 4-Year-Old Son Found Alone On Boat
By: Executive Tea staff
Y’all, prayers are up for former “Glee” actress Naya Rivera, who authorities are searching for. Rivera, 33, went missing at Lake Piru in Southern California. Rivera was spending the day with her 4-year-old son, she rented a boat and they both were seen out on the lake together.
Sheriff's Capt. Eric Buschow says that three hours after the pair left the dock, another boater discovered a boat adrift with Rivera’s son aboard, and alone. Law enforcement officials say that her son said his mom jumped in the water, but never came back. Her son was wearing a life vest, and authorities say they found Rivera’s adult life vest on board.
Authorities are now saying they're treating the case as a possible drowning and they suspended the lake and helicopter search overnight. The search resumed Thursday morning, with the lake being closed off to the public while the search is in progress. On Tuesday, Naya posted a picture with her son with the caption “just the two of us”.
