The body of a missing swimmer, Wilinson J. Orbequito, was recovered in Lake Maspenock in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, with the assistance of a specially trained K-9 named Riggs. The 21-year-old man went missing after swimming beyond the safe-swimming zone at Sandy Beach. Despite search efforts by firefighters, police officers, and divers, the search was halted due to severe weather. The search resumed the next day, and K-9 Riggs located the missing swimmer's body in 12 feet of water, about 90 feet from the shore.
