SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. — The bodies of the three missing men were recovered at Brannan Island on Wednesday, according to Sgt. Rodney Grassmann with Sacramento County Sheriff's Office.
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to a call of a possible drowning with three men and a child at the Brannan Island State Recreation Area around 1:30 p.m. Sunday.
Tedy Salazar, who is friends with the three men, is acting as the spokesperson for their families. He identified the men as: Edwin Rivas, 57; Danilo Solorzano, 40; and Edwin Perez, 22.
Deputies were told the child got out of the water and didn’t need medical attention, but the three men were missing after a search of the waterways.
Salazar said the trio were from Guatemala and lived in Oakland where they did construction work. He told ABC10 he feels like there was not a sense of urgency in finding the men.
