Authorities believe they have found the second body of two brothers who had gone missing during a duck-hunting trip in Northern California last month.
Andruw Cornett, 19, and Wesley Cornett, 17, of Yuba County were last seen hunting in the Thermalito Afterbay downstream of Lake Oroville on Dec. 14 according to the Butte County Sheriff’s Office .
Andrew Cornett’s body was found on Dec. 31.
Over the weekend, authorities told the Sacramento Bee they believe the body of his brother Wesley was discovered in the water off Highway 162 by a passerby. They are awaiting DNA test results to confirm his identity.
Authorities say the brothers were in trouble soon after entering the water three weeks ago.
Andruw Cornett called 911 about 8:30 a.m. on Dec. 14 and reported his brother had overturned in his kayak, sheriff’s officials said. A dispatcher advised him not to go into the water and to stay in his own kayak, according to authorities.
