There was a boating accident back in 1995 with three men on board at Strawberry. They were all from Utah County and now, after more than eleven years, their families may finally be getting some answers about what happened.

The men disappeared in September of 1995 as they were fishing on Strawberry in a boat. Despite several days of searching, their bodies were never found. But yesteday, searchers using new high tech sonar equipment, found and recovered a body and then today found and recovered another body, as well as the men's boat at the bottom of the reservoir in 85 feet of water.

So far none of the bodies have been positively identified, while autopsies are performed. It's believed the bodies could be Austin Lloyd of Spanish Fork, Daniel Maycock of Salem and Phillip Shepherd of Payson who were the fishermen who disappeared in 1995.

This is the third body that has been found in the last week, all of them have been in the water for several years. A body recovered last Friday was that of a man who drowned in 2001. It's believed there are three more bodies still in there, one more of the fishermen missing since 1995 as well as those of Steve and Catheryn Roundy, who have been missing since last Wednesday.

Of course there are a lot of questions from people about why these bodies that have been in the water for years haven't been found until now.
