Search in Silver Lake area for missing teen

Authorities are searching for Sunny Dicarrillo, 17, reported missing on Sunday.

The Reno Police Department and Washoe County Sheriff’s Office search and rescue are searching in the area of Red Rock Road and Moya Boulevard north of Stead.

A kayak belonging to Dicarrillo was found in Silver Lake at about 2 p.m.

This is strange. I drove by about 2:05 and there was a fire truck, a couple of motorcycle cops, a paramedic truck and a police car. When I came back about 5:15 there were a bunch more vehicles, including trailers with rafts. It was then I saw they were down by the water. Silver Lake is wide, but I would be very, very, VERY surprised if it's 5 feet deep at the lowest point. It's a intermittent lake - I think there has been water in it for about 4-5 years, after 10 of being dry. I can't imagine dragging a kayak down to the water, it isn't close to the road.

17 years old? Sorry, but the picture looks like someone in their mid 30's.

Authorities continued their search Monday for a teenager who was reported missing the day before near Silver Lake in North Valleys.

Because the kayak was found there, law enforcement is choosing to concentrate their search at that location. "We're not aware of Dicarrillo having any sort of a history as a runaway or any sort of situation like that," says Washoe County Sheriff's Office PIO Bob Harmon.

Search continues for missing teen in Silver Lake
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Team continues the search for 17-year-old Sunny Dicarrillo in a small North Valleys lake. Crews searched March 18 and returned the 19th, but no sign of him has been found since the discovery of his kayak.

[...]

Bob Harmon of the Washoe County Sheriff's Office says conditions are making the search challenging.

“It’s got a very muddy bottom," he said. "Some of the volunteers say you can sink in 6-8 inches in the mud. So there’s mud and it’s murky, but we are going to do the best that we can.”

The conditions on the lake don’t appear to be threatening, but there is another factor.

“What you don’t see looking at the lake is the water temperature,” Harmon said.

Here is the location of Silver Lake:

In the satellite view, it looks mostly like a dried lake bed, but if you switch to "Map" view, you can see the possible extent of the lake.

I've seen several comments like that and my son is the same way. He JUST turned 17 this month and is often mistaken for much older because of the full facial hair. He's been mistaken twice for my husband, been offered wine samples at the grocery store. You just never know.

I was also curious about the depth of this water . . I didn't think it was very deep so I am hoping he is still out there somewhere alive.

I noticed in that last article that his name has been misspelled. I'm alerting a mod to get the thread title corrected. His name is spelled "Sunni."

From the Mar 17 article updated Mar 21: "Earlier reports had his name spelled Sunny, but the Sheriff's Office confirms the updated spelling."

Washoe County Search and Rescue volunteers still looking for missing teen at Silver Lake
Washoe County Search and Rescue volunteers are still looking for a missing teenager, whose kayak was found floating at Silver Lake over the weekend.

[...]

The biggest challenge has been dealing with the shifty weather, the murky water, and the water temperatures, which vary from 45 to 53 degrees. Harmon said cold water emersion is a critical factor.

[...]

“Visibility is extremely limited; it’s just a matter of a few inches in some spots,” Harmon said. “There’s undergrowth in the water from weeds to sagebrush, which hampers the sonar.

“That lake isn’t a lake, it’s a dry bed,” he said, adding impeding items are sometimes thrown in there, including barbed wire.

[...]

“We tried to dive once, but because of the conditions, it’s not effective to have divers there,” Harmon said. “We may rethink that.

“We’re going to keep on.”

Man, I keep hoping for the best but it just doesn't sound good, unless he left the area and that's and entirely different set of issues potentially. You think the water's not that deep but ugggh, it doesn't take much. I can remember years ago literally stepping out of a boat as we pulled onto shore and getting stuck in mud and it's pretty powerful if it's deep enough. I had Teva's (the kind that strapped around both ends of your feet, not flip flops) on and it tore them right off my feet as I tried to free myself.

He doesn't have much of a social media presence . . . found a FB and IG but nothing indicating anything. I can't imagine how his family is feeling at this point now it's been over a week. Hoping they find him soon.
