CHP did confirm that an independent diver assisted the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office and that the diver took the license plate from the vehicle for confirmation.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, Heredia said dive conditions were difficult with strong currents caused by the recent storms and zero visibility.
Heredia also found a man in the driver seat of the car, which has since been recovered and is undergoing identification by the Sacramento County Coroner's Office.
The vehicle was initially reported to have crashed into the Sacramento River near River Road and Twin Cities Road at 6 p.m. on Monday.
Personnel from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, Walnut Grove Fire Department and the CHP used various surface-level, underwater and aerial technologies to try and locate the vehicle.
