Now, Geddes is asking anyone with video surveillance of Okanagan Lake last Saturday to review their footage, specifically from 6 p.m. to midnight.

“If you know of anyone with a surveillance camera that points onto the lake from Three Mile Beach to the SS Sicamous along Lakeshore Drive, from a personal home camera to a business with security cameras,” Geddes said in an email to Global News.
