Searchers found another body in Strawberry Reservoir Thursday, the third in a bizarre search for two missing boaters in the cold, 90-foot-deep water.
And for the third time, the body does not appear to be that of Steven or Catheryn Roundy, police said.
A sonar on a Utah Department of Public Safety boat located a submerged vessel around noon just north of an area known as The Ladders, Wasatch County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Todd Bonner said. A remote-controlled robot was then dispatched and located the body.
The Roundys disappeared Nov. 8 after they were tossed in the water when their boat overturned.
The couple were fishing with Steven Roundy's brother and a friend at the time. Steven Roundy and the friend were able to make it to shore, and the couple was last seen swimming toward the marina to the west.
Bonner said the Roundys' bodies are believed to be northwest of where the body was found Thursday.
Searchers Wednesday made another find in The Ladders _ the body of a man that had been in the water for years. Bonner said the state medical examiner was conducting DNA tests on those remains to make an identification..
And on Friday searchers found the body of 46-year-old Drake K. McMillan, a Salt Lake City man who disappeared on the reservoir in 2001.
After McMillan's body was recovered, Wasatch County Sheriff's Capt. John Rogers said he suspected new technology might help recover other drowning victims during this recent search.
In addition to the Roundys, police believe at least one other body lies at the bottom of the reservoir.
