SUMMARY: On Friday, December 29, 2023, at 9:47 p.m., deputies responded to the report of a missing person in the 14500 Block of Schooner Drive in Silver Lakes.
According to family members, 68-year-old David Kendall left his residence at approximately 4:30 p.m., and no one had seen or heard from him since. Deputies, with the assistance of personnel from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Aviation Division (40King), and Deputy C. Allen with her tracking K-9 Nyx from the Rancho Cucamonga Station, conducted an extensive search in the community of Silver Lakes. Mr. Kendall was not located and was entered into the missing persons system.
On Saturday, December 30, 2023, Deputy C. Alfred was contacted by a resident on Silver Lakes who believed they observed Mr. Kendall on their surveillance cameras near the lake. Deputy Alfred reviewed the footage and notified the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Dive Team that he believed Mr. Kendall may have gone in the water.
Due to the late hour and no visibility, the Dive Team responded on Sunday, December 31, 2023, at approximately 5:30 a.m. At approximately 9:03 a.m., Mr. Kendall was located deceased in the lake.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact Deputy C. Alfred at the Victor Valley Sheriff’s Station, 760-552-6800. Callers can remain anonymous and contact We-Tip at 800-78CRIME or www.wetip.com.
