At approximately 2:15 p.m. on Saturday, the Louisa County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) received information about a body that had been located floating in the waters of Spotsylvania County, out in the main part of Lake Anna. At the request of Spotsylvania, LCSO deputies, detectives, and other resources responded, and arrived just after the body was removed from the water.
During the initial investigation, it was determined to be the body of a female. The deceased individual is currently being transported to the Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsy and definitive identification. Updates will be given as more information becomes available.
The Louisa County Sheriff’s Office has been actively searching for an individual who is believed to have possibly drowned earlier this spring in an area further up-lake from today’s recovery.
