Divers spent two weeks searching this Lake for Joshua Dorchak...each day that went by hope for finding him diminished. But Friday morning during a memorial service there was a breakthrough.
Emergency Services Director Rodney Burdette says Bill Routh located the boat and notified Natural Resources divers that were here on the scene.
Burdette also says the moment they called for radio silence during the memorial service is the exact moment the bowie popped up from the water signaling the boat and baby Dorchak had been found.
"I just broke down it was very emotional. It's been a lot of hard work by a lot of people," says Bill Routh, Off The Wall Charters.
A lot of hard work that consisted of 40 different dive organizations from as far away as Texas. Each person spending hours a day searching this Lake Jocassee.
"They have put in 10, 12, 14 hour days on the water and lost that much sleep trying to figure out what they can try different," says Routh.
-- Finally a breakthrough that can bring closure to the family after such a tradgic loss.
"They were releived and sad. There's been a lot of mixed emotions. It's been two weeks," says Routh.
The boat was found half a mile from where it went under in 120 feet of water.
