That included a wallet and clothing. A vehicle the men had apparently driven was located, and then a dive team was called in. They responded and then found the bodies in the water. It wasn't immediately clear how long the men had been in the water or how they ended up in the pond. There was also never a mention of the men being on any kind of paddleboard or boat.
