The following day, Alaska Wildlife Troopers, Juneau Mountain Rescue and SEADOGS searched for the missing kayaker in the lake and on the shorelines.

The Forest Service shared that a vehicle had been sitting in the parking lot of the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center since July 11. Juneau police responded to the parking lot and confirmed the vehicle belonged to Rodriguez. The police notified the Alaska State Troopers, who began to organize search efforts in the area.
