The remains of a second woman who went underwater Tuesday at the Sand Hollow Reservoir have been recovered, according to a September 18 report by Gephardt Daily.
Search teams located the second missing female at approximately 5 p.m. Friday, the Utah Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division stated in a news release.
The Utah Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division stated that the search operation has concluded. The agency expressed condolences to the family and friends of the deceased and noted that the incident remains under investigation.
The body of the first missing woman was recovered at approximately 3 p.m. Thursday. Both women were thrown from a jet ski on Tuesday.
Antonio Omari Lewis, 23, was driving the jet ski occupied by the women and a dog. While the dog reached the shore and Lewis was pulled from the water by another individual on a jet ski, the two women disappeared under the water's surface. One person familiar with the women informed police that one of the women was approximately four months pregnant with twins.
Lewis was arrested Tuesday and faces investigation for two counts of automobile homicide, a second-degree felony, and two counts of navigation – wakeless speed and proximity violation, a class C misdemeanor. Witnesses reported that Lewis had been drinking and had previously been denied a jet ski rental because he refused to wear a life jacket. Lewis admitted to drinking and stated the women had asked him to drive faster before a wave caused them to fall off the vehicle.
The Utah Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division thanked several agencies for their assistance, including the Washington County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue, Hurricane Police, the State Bureau of Investigation, search and rescue crews from Sanpete and Sevier counties, the Utah DPS Aero Bureau, and Utah State Parks Sand Hollow staff.
