Boy's body found in Lake Lahontan

A two-day search in northern Nevada has ended with the discovery of the body of a 6-year-old Reno boy who apparently drowned in Lake Lahontan.

Apollo Fuller was reported missing Saturday afternoon after he reportedly fell off a water trampoline and into the lake at Lahontan State Park's Beach 3.

Lyon County Under Sheriff Joe Sanford says a boater or camper noticed the body in the water late Monday and notified a park official.

Over the weekend, about 60 officers from various agencies and at least one dog searched the shore and woods and distributed fliers with a photo and information about the boy.

A sheriff's official said 1,300 vehicles were stopped and searched before authorities learned he'd been seen earlier on the trampoline in the lake.
