VERNON – The search for a 24-year-old Alberta man presumed drowned in Kalamalka Lake may soon resume.
Curtis Wilson has been missing since June 27. The body of his friend, 32-year-old Shane Letkeman, was discovered in the water in the Cosens Bay area on June 28.
READ MORE: Police divers have gone in the lake three times hoping to recover Wilson’s body but so far have not found him.
A family friend set up a GoFundMe account and online donations have now reached the $3,000 mark. The money raised will hopefully allow the family to hire Gene and Sandy Ralston. The Ralstons are a well-known couple from Idaho who use side scan sonar to recover drowning victims.
The team is currently in Osoyoos Lake looking for the body of a man who, two weeks ago, fell into the water when the sea-doo he was riding flipped over. A female passenger managed to flag down a passing sailboat but the man never re-surfaced.
The search on Kalamalka Lake may begin once the team wraps up on Osoyoos Lake.
