The bodies of two Illinois men have been recovered, a week after they went missing in Lake Michigan near Hammond. Indiana Conservation Officers say Eduardo Rivera Jr., 45, and Salvador Lopez, 32, both of Elk Grove Village, were located Friday afternoon, about a mile and a half from where they were last seen.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office says around 12:30 p.m., a fisherman reported finding a body just north of a BP break wall, about three-quarters of a mile from shore. Conservation Officers found the other man east of the break wall.
Officers were initially called to the area July 5, after getting a report that two people were missing after jumping from their boat near Hammond. A third man had also been missing but was found about two hours later. He was taken to a local hospital and later released.
