CHP officers responded and confirmed that a vehicle was inside the aqueduct \u00a0near 106th Street East and Pearblossom Highway, Breshers said, then they notified the sheriff\u2019s department\u2019s dive team.<\/p>\n

Santana was wearing his McDonald\u2019s uniform and driving his orange Dodge Dart, according to a flyer his family posted to social media. Santana called his supervisor to say he was running late, but he never arrived to work. Family members then \u00a0launched a desperate week-long search for the teen, whom they said suffered from seizures if medication was not taken.<\/p>\n

Santana’s family planned to hold a vigil at the aqueduct Friday evening.<\/p>\n
