"A missing Rohnert Park man was found dead in his Tesla Model Y late last week following a 10-day search, according to authorities and family. The body of 29-year-old Kale Gonick-Hallows was located Friday in the driver's seat of the bright blue Tesla, which was submerged in the water off Schoolhouse Beach in Bodega Bay, Rohnert Park police said in a Tuesday news release."
"Early Friday, a drone from the Cal Fire Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit, which had been requested as part of the search for Kale Gonick-Hallows, found a piece of the vehicle during a sweep near Schoolhouse Beach, Rohnert Park police Sgt. Casey Quinn said Tuesday. Rohnert Park authorities reached out to the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office's helicopter, Henry-1, which further searched the area and spotted the Tesla in the water."
Kale Gonick-Hallows, 29, was found dead in the driver's seat of his bright blue Tesla Model Y submerged off Schoolhouse Beach in Bodega Bay after a ten-day missing-person search. Gonick-Hallows left his Rohnert Park apartment on Jan. 5 during a strong storm while experiencing a mental health crisis; his mother reported him missing on Jan. 6. Automated license plate readers tracked the vehicle traveling west in Bodega and then north on Highway 1 in Bodega Bay. Multiple agencies including Rohnert Park police, the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office, California Highway Patrol and California State Parks assisted in searching. A Cal Fire drone found a piece of the vehicle and the Sheriff's Office helicopter located the submerged Tesla. State Parks lifeguards dove, recovered the vehicle and pulled the body from the driver's seat. The vehicle remains in the water while authorities investigate a crash believed to have occurred near the north parking lot within the first few days he was missing.
