MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. — Crews recovered the body of a 12-year-old boy from Lake Sinclair Monday morning. They had been working to find the drowning victim since Sunday night.
Corporal Bubba Stanford with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources says his office got a call around 7 p.m.
A family was boating, picnicking and swimming near Airport Island when 12-year-old Traetorin Mitchell went under and never resurfaced. That’s near the Bass Boat House.
Stanford says Mitchell's family was unable to reach him or find him, and the Department of Natural Resources searched until dark.
They returned at sun up on Monday to keep looking, and used sonar equipment in the search.
