MESQUITE, Nev. -- Rescuers are looking for a 3-year-old girl who was swept into the Virgin River near Mesquite.

OGDEN — A Washington Terrace man who police say found the body of a boy in the Weber River on Sunday afternoon says he felt compelled to keep looking until the child was found.

Jack Price, 53, said he went to the place where 4-year-old Corbin Anderson, of Layton, fell into the water every day for the two weeks since the boy was believed to have drowned.

Price said he’s not particularly religious nor a member of any faith group, but he said prayer is what led him to find Corbin’s body.

MAGNA — Under a cloudless sky, Rescue 1 ambled from the Great Salt Lake Marina and roared toward Eardley Spit, a narrow speck of barren land jutting out from Stansbury Island.

The smooth blueish-green water slapped against the aluminum hull of the 35-foot rescue boat as Dave Shearer, the marina’s harbor master, opened the throttle, pushing the craft to 45 mph.

During the 15-minute journey to the spit, Shearer stared straight ahead as a cool breeze whistled through the open windows of the boat’s cabin.

OGDEN — A search Sunday for the body of Corbin Anderson, the 4-year-old Layton boy believed to have drowned a week earlier, went as far as the Great Salt Lake.
