Per E! News, Ventura County Sheriff Deputy Chris Dyer confirmed that there are no signs of foul play and no signs that anything went wrong other than a tragic accident. He stated, “The goal is still to bring Ms. Rivera home to her family so that they can have closure.”
Authorities also discussed Lake Piru and revealed that it is not a natural lake, but rather a man-made reservoir. “It is deep. Up to 130 feet in spots and loaded with debris on the bottom.”

Additionally, they went into detail about searching for Naya while staying safe. “There are challenges and safety issues at the sight. Despite complaints that authorities suspended search efforts overnight, visibility for divers in the lake, during the day, is exceedingly limited somewhere between five and nine [feet]. You can’t see at night.”
The Ventura Sheriffs also tweeted out a recording of the 911 call reporting Naya missing.
