Officials dispatched a sonar-equipped boat and a Marine Evidence Recovery Team to search for potential victims with no further details released.

Overview

  • Colorado Parks and Wildlife began responding Monday to a reported possible drowning at the privately owned Monument Lake Resort in Las Animas County.
  • CPW is leading the operation in partnership with the Las Animas County Sheriff’s Office and Las Animas County Emergency Management.
  • CPW said it dispatched its Marine Evidence Recovery Team with a sonar-equipped boat and CBS reported the team included three officers.
  • Officials have not released victim names, conditions, or an outcome, and news outlets differ on the resort’s exact location relative to Trinidad and Denver.
