Skaneateles 1956 T-33 Crash into Skaneateles Lake

1956 28 Apr - 2Lt Gordon W. Simonds killed in training flight when T-33 trainer crashed into Skaneateles Lake.  I was wondering if anyone has seen the remains of this aircraft on their sonar? My daughter loves looking that the side imaging on my Garmin. She has found a couple of boats but still looking for the T-33

Usually the military will recover a downed aircraft regardless of mission if possible.  I had a ride in one of those (T-33 trainer) in 1965 in Germany
