Mokelumne River Search

On August 13, 2000 the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team participated in a mutual aid search on the Mokelumne River for evidence related to a multiple homicide investigation.

Search teams were transported up river by boat.

Much of the search area consisted of rock levees like the one in the background of this photo. A long day of hiking on the loose rock is hard on the knees.

Divers from the Marin County Sheriff's Office search for additional evidence in the river.

One of the boat drivers remarked that Delta boaters weren't used to seeing the 'Diver Down' flag.

A deputy sheriff on a Sea Doo heads back as well. The Sea Doos assisted with traffic control near the dive areas on the busy Delta waterways and provided an additional search platform.
