The search had been ongoing since a person went missing on last Tuesday, after being swept away by floodwaters. Detectives have stated that there are no early signs of foul play.

The victim's identity is pending confirmation by the Clark County Coroner’s Office, and details will be released once family notification is made, as reported by the City of Henderson.
