GARDEN CITY, Utah. August 17, 2013. State Parks boats combed Bear Lake for a father and teenaged son who were reported missing about 7 p.m. They were on a jet ski rented from Rendezvous Beach when they were flipped off. Unable to reach the jet ski, they began to swim for shore. They were wearing life jackets.
Searchers found the jet ski but did not see the men. About 9:30 p.m. searchers decided to call the National Guard to use flares and night vision equipment in the Guard rescue helicopters to continue the search. Before they could be called, the father was picked up walking at Rendezvous Beach and a few minutes later the son was found too. He was suffering from hyperthermia. An ambulance was called. EMT personnel must have been waiting for a call, as the ambulance sirens began only three minutes after being called and it was at the scene immediately. The two are fine excepting for sores and blisters resulting from swimming in the life jackets.
