The search for a Stockton missing teen comes to an end 30 minutes into a diver's search
Juan Heredia discovered the body of Xavier Martinez minutes into his search Tuesday, following a multi-day search led by law enforcement.STOCKTON, Calif. — Candles, flowers and heartfelt notes were left on the levee beside the Calaveras River Wednesday, a big difference from the scene on River Drive inwhere for the past week, crews searched with boats, robots and sonar devices for Stagg High School student Xavier Martinez.
"We realized yet what's happened," said Heredia."Suddenly I saw his tennis shoes and then I was looking up and of course, I noticed that it was him.""I was glad that me and my family were there to help and to close and to console her," said Heredia. "I didn't want to go before that because I respect the police, I respect the sheriff," said Heredia."I think if somebody would jump to do a dive the same day, they would the body."
"From my understanding, this water is very dangerous. There's a lot of shrubberies, garbage underneath there which made it very dangerous for any divers to go in there," said Chief Mayra Franco."That's why they relied on robotics."In a statement Wednesday, the Stockton Unified School District said that search crews exhausted all of their options. The district says mental health clinicians and counselors are on hand at Stagg High School for those in need of support.
