After 3-year-old Jeremy Scholl's body was found in Henry Hagg Lake Monday evening, authorities discovered four pairs of shoes along the shoreline. 
 
 The boy's family was nowhere around. Search teams combed through the water until after nightfall and scoured the nearby woods. They found no one but saw signs that others were there: Sneakers and flip-flops, in different sizes, unclaimed on the beach. 
 
 When searchers returned Tuesday morning, they were looking for three generations of a family. By afternoon, they found them all. 
 
 A dive team recovered the bodies of Jeremy's mother, grandmother and uncle about 30 to 40 feet from the shoreline, in water that ranged from 8 to 13 feet deep. Authorities identified his family members as Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua, 25; Jova Ixtacua-Castano, 42, and Michael Garcia-Ixtacua, 13, respectively. 
 
 Jova Ixtacua-Castano was mother to Michael and Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua and grandmother to Jeremy. They lived together in Hillsboro. 
 
 Their bodies were recovered at the bottom of the lake, about 25 yards away from the location where Jeremy was found hours earlier. 
 
 Investigators think the family members drowned Monday at the park, which lies a little more than six miles northwest of Gaston. They were there to picnic and swim. 
 
 Their official causes of death were not available Tuesday. No one had any visible injuries. 
 
 Authorities found no signs of foul play, said Sgt. Bob Ray, a Washington County Sheriff's Office spokesman. Ray could not remember another call like it, across the span of his 16-plus year career. 
 
 No one witnessed the apparent drowning, Ray said, even though other people were nearby along the shoreline. The lake's hilly perimeter likely blocked their view. 
 
 Authorities don't know all the details behind what happened and likely never will. But investigators speculate that at least one family member ran into trouble swimming and others went to help. Detectives are continuing to seek answers. 
 
 The last drowning at Hagg Lake occurred in 2008, when a 27-year-old Portland man was swimming and couldn't make it back to shore. Ray said the 2008 incident occurred in the same place as Monday's, and a rack offering free life jackets was installed at the location afterward. The family was not wearing flotation devices. 
 
 Authorities closed the lake Tuesday for their search, marking its entries with signs. Law enforcement officers and reporters filled the area, instead of people fishing and picnicking. On summer days, 10,000 people sometimes visit the park, Ray said. 
 
 The lake remained closed Tuesday out of respect for the family, the first time it has ever completely shut down during the summer, Ray said. It will reopen Wednesday at sunrise. 
 
 The search for the family started Monday, after two people fishing in the area spotted a small boy, unconscious near the shoreline where Sain Creek flows into the lake. 
 
 They pulled the boy from the water to a picnic area, where they performed CPR until Gaston fire crews arrived, Ray said. The boy died at the scene. 
 
 Deputies searched for the boy's family, but they couldn't find anyone. Unclaimed items littered the shore: A beach towel, a cellphone, a cooler with food and drinks, the four pairs of shoes. Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua's identification was among the items. A Yorkshire terrier wandered with no owners around. 
 
 In the parking lot, deputies found a car, registered to Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua. Inside, they found her mother's purse and identification, Ray said. 
 
 From the evidence gathered, deputies thought they could be looking for three additional people. Detectives later spoke with Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua's sister who confirmed their fear and inclination: Her family had gone to the lake, and she hadn't heard from them since. 
 
 Authorities, including Marine patrol deputies and a Newberg Fire Department dive team, searched the water and nearby woods until about 10:30 p.m. Monday. By mid-morning Tuesday, they were back at it, this time with a Clackamas County Sheriff's Office dive team. They resumed their search where Jeremy was found. 
 
 Investigators camped out beneath a canopy of oaks and evergreens near a gazebo, just southwest of the lake's Boat Ramp C. Orange cones marked evidence along the beach. Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua's sister picked up the car and terrier, Ray said. 
 
 After hitting the water, divers shouted back and forth to one another as they searched. They commented on the depth of trenches, just below them. Varying depths in the lake's floor make the body of water a patchwork of blue: The darker the water, the deeper the floor. 
 
 Before noon, a diver blew a whistle three times, indicating something was found in the water. Ray said divers had discovered the bodies of Gabriela and Michael Garcia-Ixtacua. They were found close together. 
 
 Other divers swarmed the spot and the first recovery began. They removed the brother and sister from the lake's floor. 
 
 Within 25 minutes, the divers recovered their mother, Jeremy's grandma, from the water. Her body was about 15 feet from her children.

 GASTON, Ore. -- Searchers on Tuesday found three more bodies in Henry Hagg Lake after a boy was found drowned Monday, the Washington County Sheriff's Office said. 
 
 The bodies were identified as 42-year-old Jova Ixtacua-Castano; her 13-year-old son, Michael Garcia-Ixtacua; and her 25-year-old daughter, Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua. The 3-year-old boy found on Monday was Jeremy Scholl, the son of Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua and grandson of Ixtacua-Castano. 
 
 The family lived together in Hillsboro. 
 
 "This was a tragic thing and we're trying to put it together," said neighbor Dawn Medley. "We're a really tight-knit neighborhood."

 "Detectives found nothing suspicious and no signs of foul play. This appears to be a tragic incident where someone likely got into trouble in the water and others attempted to help them," Sgt. Bob Ray with the Washington County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday. "Detectives are still searching for any answers that will help them understand the events that occurred yesterday evening to cause the deaths." 
 
 Surviving family also found a dog that belonged to the group near the lake and took it home. 
 
 Friends said the four came to Hagg Lake for what was planned as a pleasant day outing on Monday. 
 
 Authorities are still trying to determine how all four people ended up in the water. 
 
 Searchers found the three bodies in approximately eight feet of water, about 50 yards from where the 3-year-old boy was found Monday. 
 
 None of the family members was wearing life jackets. 
 
 Searchers looked for parents after boy found dead 
 
 Merlin Tague, who was visiting the area from another state, spotted a boy face-down in the water near the Sain Creek picnic area Monday evening. 
 
 "So I pulled him out, yelled at the people on the hill to call the cops, and then we started doing CPR right away," said Tague. 
 
 He and one other person performed CPR, but they were unsuccessful. 
 
 "It's a tough one," said Austin Sanders. "At least we found him before nightfall." 
 
 The sheriff's office had reported they could not locate the boy's parents and that's when divers were called in to begin searching for any sign of them.

 Investigators noticed an unattended white car in a nearby parking lot. They were able to connect it to a picnic area that was also unattended. 
 
 Forest Grove Fire spokesman David Nemeyer said the items at the picnic table included a pair of adult flip flops and food. A photo of the boy was found inside the car. 
 
 Jeremy Scholl had no obvious signs of trauma. An autopsy was scheduled, according to the sheriff's office. 
 
 The search was resumed at 10 a.m. Tuesday. The additional bodies were found just before 12 p.m. 
 
 The entire lake was closed to the public. 
 
 If you know anything about this case you are urged to contact the Washington County Sheriff's Office at 503-629-0111.

– Searchers in an Oregon lake recovered four bodies in what seems to have been a tragic accident: Three generations of the same family apparently drowned. People fishing in Henry Hagg Lake, located in a Washington County park that, police say, draws up to 10,000 people per day, first noticed an unconscious 3-year-old boy near the shore Monday. Despite their efforts to perform CPR and the arrival of fire crews, Jeremy Scholl died, the Oregonian reports. But he didn't appear to have been alone: Officials found four pairs of shoes at the edge of the lake and a dog wandering nearby, no owners in sight. Other abandoned items including a towel, a cooler, and a phone also hinted there were other people to be found. An initial search revealed no one in the woods or water. But a call to the boy's aunt revealed that relatives had gone to the lake and hadn't been heard from since, and the following day, divers recovered three more bodies: those of the boy's mother, Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua, 25; his uncle, Michael Garcia-Ixtacua, 13; and his grandmother, Jova Ixtacua-Castano, 42. Authorities saw no indication of foul play. "This appears to be a tragic incident where someone likely got into trouble in the water and others attempted to help them," an officer says, per KGW. "Detectives are still searching for any answers." (In a happier turn of events this year, another child was underwater in a Utah river for 20 minutes—and survived.)
