3 Bodies Found In Missouri River During Search For Missing Girls
Authorities have recovered the bodies of three teenage girls who went missing last month while fishing along the Missouri River in Nebraska. All three bodies were found in the river in north Omaha, one on Saturday night and the two others on Tuesday morning, a public information officer with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office confirmed to HuffPost Thursday. Lah Tray Moo, 18, Lainana Green, 18, and Eh Cress Moo, 12, had been fishing near the river on April 15 with a fourth teenage girl when three of them entered the water and started struggling, KETV previously reported. A 13-year-old girl who was reportedly at the river with them was taken to a hospital in serious condition. 'Evidently they lost a phone or pole or something, went into the river trying to retrieve it and they got swept out by the current,' Public Information Officer Spencer Head told HuffPost. 'The Missouri in that stretch is a very dangerous stretch of river with a current undertow,' he said. 'It's almost always like that.' Lainana's aunt, Nichelle Griffy, told 3 News Now that they're heartbroken but relieved to have closure. 'Right now feeling relieved that we have all three girls physically now — sad but we're thankful that we have them now,' she said. Community advocate Chrome Louis, who helped with local search efforts, also told 3 News Now that he hopes the tragedy educates the public about the river's dangers and leads to more warnings along its banks. 'Because through this process I learned a lot about the river, that I didn't even know. The average person don't know how really seriously dangerous this river is,' he said. The Omaha Fire Department expressed its 'deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of these girls' in a Facebook post announcing the girls' recovery on Wednesday. '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,' the department said.
