Los Angeles County Sheriff divers suspended the searching for two elderly brothers from Glendale who went missing during a fishing trip in the California Aqueduct in Lancaster.
The missing men were identified as 86-year-old Minas Khacheryan and his 78-year-old brother Grigor Khacheryan.
Sgt. Michael Rodriguez of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Missing Persons Bureau said the current and speed of the aqueduct has not allowed them to find anything, and it's possible the speed of the aqueduct may have moved the bodies miles away.
Rodriguez said they searched all day Saturday as well.
