The remains of 43 year old Richard D. Herren of Green River, who drowned in Flaming Gorge on May 4, 1997 were recovered Tuesday morning. Herren of Green River, fell out of a boat in the Holmes Crossing area of Flaming Gorge, known then as Squaw Hollow. At the time, Herren's wife Mary and family friend Dan Lindholn were also in the boat. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that conditions on the lake that day and during the course of the search for Herren were rough, and searchers’ efforts were unsuccessful.
The Sheriff’s Office and County Emergency Management began planning and preparation for a June recovery. The largest concern was the lake’s depth at the body’s location since deep diving at Wyoming’s altitude can be very dangerous.
Recovery craft were on the water by 8:00 AM and the operation was completed about two hours later. About 30 people took part in the operation. A routine autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday in Loveland, Colorado.
