The body of a 69-year-old Hesperia woman who went missing during the early-morning hours on Saturday was recovered from the California Aqueduct on Saturday afternoon, authorities said.

Supranee Poolswasdi vanished from her home in the 13800 block of Mayapple Street about 2:30 a.m., according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. The neighborhood sits just west of the aqueduct.

Supranee Poolswasdi, 69, of Hesperia was reported missing on Saturday, Nov. 23, 2024.

After reaching out to the public for help in finding Poolswasdi, her body was discovered in the California Aqueduct after a sheriff’s K-9 tracked the missing woman to a trail that lead toward the nearby aqueduct, then divers were sent in to investigate, officials said.

The remains were retrieved from the water at about 1 p.m., according to a sheriff’s department statement.
