According to KTLA5, officials confirmed that 33-year-old Rivera was missing and now presumed dead after an incident at sea.

Authorities were alerted to Rivera’s disappearance after they received a call about a child who was seen alone on a boat at around 6pm on Wednesday night.

After rescuing the boy, a search and rescue dive team was deployed to search the lake for the child’s parents, however the team have, so far, been unsuccessful.

Rivera was last active on social media yesterday, when she shared a photo of her and her son on Twitter with the caption “just the two of us.”

According to the Ventura County Sheriff department, authorities are searching for a potential drowning victim.
