Bodies of 3 girls who went missing while fishing found in Missouri River
The three girls, identified by CBS affiliate KMTV as Lah Tray Moo, Lainana Green and Eh Cress Moo, went missing two weeks ago. Eh Cress Moo was Lah Tray Moo's niece, KMTV reported.
The girls were reported missing on April 15, while fishing in the river, KMTV said.
The Omaha Fire Department said its special operations team had worked alongside local and state agencies, as well as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to find and identify the girls. Boats, drones, sonar equipment and helicopters were used to search the area, KMTV reported. The search turned into a recovery mission on April 16, KMTV said.
The body of Lah Tray Moo was found over the weekend, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, which includes Omaha, said on social media. A fisherman spotted the remains, KMTV reported, and kept them from floating away until police arrived.
The bodies of Lainana Green and Eh Cress Moo were found on Tuesday morning, KMTV reported.
"We extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of these girls," the fire department said in a statement on social media. "The loss of these young lives has touched our entire community, and our hearts continue to be with you now and in the days ahead."
Lainana Green's aunt, Nichelle Griffy, told KMTV that the two families are leaning on each other and are "relieved that we have all three girls physically now."
The Missouri River is the longest river in the United States. It is usually between 10 and 20 feet deep in Omaha, according to the United States Geological Survey.

Mystery plane thief keeps taking vintage plane for joyrides, returning it repaired: ‘It's just weird'
A mystery plane thief keeps stealing a vintage small plane for sky-high joyrides — and even repairing it before returning it ready for the next time. Retired California pilot Jason Hong told the Los Angeles Times he had just finished celebrating his 75th birthday when he suddenly got the urge to pay a visit to his 'old treasure,' a 1958 Cessna Skyhawk stationed at the Corona Municipal Airport on July 27. Instead, he found his white and red single-engine plane missing, with police notifying him that the plane had been checked out at least twice before the latest mysterious joyride. Adding to the mystery, the plane had also been maintained and repaired, he said. Advertisement 3 A 1958 Cessna Skyhawk was repeatedly stolen and flown around California airports in July and August. CBS 'On and off, they flew in and out, in and out, almost an entire month without knowing,' he said, with some witnesses suggesting the plane thief was a middle-aged woman. 'This is really a rare situation.' Hong said he's baffled as to who might be taking it — and why. 'Someone breaks into your house, they're looking for jewelry or cash, right?' Hong said. 'But in this case, what's the purpose? It's like someone breaks my window, and then they put a new one up.' Advertisement After that first time noticing it was missing, Hong was initially relieved when La Verne Police reported his Cessna had been found two days later at the Brackett Field Airport. According to plane-tracking site Flight Aware, Hong's plane initially took off from the Corona airport on the morning of July 26 for a 51-minute trip to Palm Springs. It then departed for a brief 22-minute flight to the Bracket Field Airport. The frustrated 75-year-old decided to pull the battery from the plane until he could come back to clean the cockpit and inspect it. Advertisement 3 Jason Hong, 75, is confused as to who would keep stealing his plane, return it, and even make some repairs. CBS But when he returned on Aug. 3, Hong found the plane missing again, with police locating the stolen aircraft now parked at the San Gabriel Valley Airport. 'This plane just keeps disappearing out of the blue,' Sgt. Robert Montanez of the Corona Police Department told the outlet. 'It's just weird.' Once Hong got to the San Gabriel Valley Airport, the mystery only deepened after he found a new headset and battery inside the plane, meaning the thief had to spend a significant amount of money to get it flying again. Advertisement 3 The plane was ultimately found at the San Gabriel Valley Airport, where Hong plans to keep it stationed. San Gabriel Valley Airport Association/Facebook Hong also learned from regulars at the airport that they had seen a woman flying his plane around San Gabriel Valley multiple times in July. While one witness claimed the thief was a woman who appeared to be in her 40s or 50s and about 5'3″, police noted that there is no video available to show who stole the plane. As police continue to investigate the circumstances of the repeated robberies, Hong found a silver lining in meeting the staff and regulars at the San Gabriel Valley Airport. 'This has better people,' Hong said. 'Better lounge than Corona. A little bit farther, but this airport can be my home base,' Hong told local KCAL News.

After losing 12-year-old daughter in electric scooter crash, family pushes for Abby's Law
Two months after a deadly electric scooter crash claimed the life of 12-year-old Abby Gillon, her family is speaking out for the first time and pushing for a new law they hope will prevent another tragedy. Abby was riding an electric scooter with a friend in Aston, Delaware County, on June 14 when the girls fell and were hit by a car. Abby died from her injuries. Her friend survived. "It's one of the worst phone calls a parent can get," Abby's mother, Lori Kralle, said during an exclusive interview with CBS News Philadelphia. Kralle remembers desperately trying to get answers after a nurse called from the emergency room. "I just kept asking, 'Is she alert? Is she responsive?' And they wouldn't give me an answer," Kralle said. Abby was an honor student at Ridley Middle School who loved swimming, cheerleading, and making people smile. "She was my best friend, my only daughter, my only child," Kralle said. "We feel broken." Her tragic death sent shockwaves through the tight-knit community, but now, her family is channeling their grief into action. The Kralles are working with State Senator Tim Kearney to introduce Abby's Law, a proposed bill that aims to improve safety for young electric scooter riders across Pennsylvania. If passed, the law would cap e-scooter speeds at 20 miles per hour, ban riders under 16, and require helmets for 16-and 17-year-olds. Abby's uncle, Ron Kralle, created a Facebook page to raise awareness and gather support for the legislation. "There are people that argue, 'You can't take my rights away,'" Ron Kralle said. "Every other day, you hear another scooter incident, scooter incident." Just this week, two 14-year-olds were seriously injured while riding a scooter in nearby Springfield. Electric scooters continue to grow in popularity, but the Kralle family believes current laws haven't kept up. Lori Kralle said she's determined to honor her daughter's memory and protect other children from similar fates. "I don't want another family having to get that phone call or having to bury their child," Lori Kralle said. "It shouldn't have happened." Abby's Law is expected to be formally introduced in Harrisburg next month. The Kralle family said they're committed to seeing it through every step of the way.

Diddy considering comeback at Madison Square Garden: Attorney
(NewsNation) —Sean 'Diddy' Combs' attorney said the producer is mulling over a potential musical comeback at New York's Madison Square Garden after his release from jail for prostitution-related charges. Marc Agnifilo, Combs' lead attorney, told CBS News that the music artist is 'going to be back at Madison Square Garden — and I said I'll be there.' When asked in what capacity Combs would be at the arena, Agnifilo answered, 'I guess being on stage, you know?' Combs' team did not immediately return a request from NewsNation confirming the performance. A jury convicted Combs last month on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution under the Mann Act, which has a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. He was acquitted of the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for Oct. 3, and a judge ruled he would remain in jail until then. 'I think he's someone who's always going to strive to do something, you know, exceptional, and probably demanding and challenging,' Agnifilo told CBS. 'But I think the most demanding and challenging thing in front of him right now is to get back with his kids and get back with his mother, and the people who love him and miss him,' the attorney added.
