Naya was reported missing on July 8 after she failed to return a rental boat on Lake Piru at the end of her three-hour window. Naya’s son was later located on the boat, asleep and wearing his life vest. His mother was not on the boat, and authorities shared in a press conference that they have no reason to believe that Naya ever made it to shore.
Naya is said to have had experience boating on the lake, and no foul play is expected in her case. The situation is being considered a “horrible accident,” police said.
This is a developing story.
