A cash reward for the recovery of the body of Eli Horowitz, 30, has increased to $10,000 from $3,000.
David Stein, a paramedic with the Hatzolah organization and close friend of Horowitz, said not finding the body has been frustrating.
"Our community is trying to do whatever we can to find his body," Stein said, adding as many as 20 members of Hatzolah, a volunteer-based emergency medical service, continue to search daily. The search for Horowitz of Toronto and his father-in-law, Heine Mondrowitz, 56, of Richmond Hill, started Aug. 21 after the boat they had rented to go fishing and swimming on Lake Nipissing was found drifting unattended near LaVase River two hours later.
Mondrowitz's body was found five days later along the shores of Lonely Island by OPP underwater search and recovery personnel. "We're concentrating of course where his father-in-law's body was found, but at this time we're also searching the entire lake," Stein said. Ontario Provincial Police continue their search, aided by volunteers who have conducted extensive water, air and ground searches.
