The search for 14-year-old Andrew Roberts ended in heartbreak late Sunday night when his body was recovered from Hidden Valley Lake.
The North Shore Dive Team located Andrew at approximately 10:40 p.m., according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office in a Nixle post to the community. “Our condolences go out to his loved ones,” the department stated.
Andrew, of Clearlake, was last seen around 4:15 p.m. near Big Beach, where he was attending a group outing. He told others he was heading to the pool but never returned. Search efforts quickly escalated, with dive teams, K9 units, and multiple agencies combing the area into the night.
The teen was described as 5-foot-4, 115 pounds, with dark blonde hair, last seen wearing a blue “Konocti Pathfinders” shirt, black pants, and a gray backpack.
The cause of death has not yet been released.
