Authorities believe they have recovered the bodies of three girls who went missing after going on a fishing trip last month on the Missouri River in Omaha, Nebraska.
Lah Tray Moo, 18, Laiana Green, 18, and Eh Cress Moo, 11, were out on the water and reported missing on April 15, according to NBC News affiliate WOWT. The station reported that they were with a 13-year-old relative who was unharmed.
Authorities said one of the girls slipped into the river and the others went into the water in an attempt to rescue her.
Lah Tray Moo’s body was found on Saturday by a bystander at NP Dodge Park. A representative for the Omaha Police Department confirmed to NBC News that her body has been positively identified.
Coby Werner, battalion chief, told WOWT at the time that the discovery could help recovery teams find the other two girls.
“The indication is that maybe the girls are still up in this area,” Werner said. “But with the way the river flows, you just never know, so we’re going to continue, we’re going to focus up here tomorrow, but we’ll also continue to search down river as well just in case.”
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, the Omaha Fire Department confirmed that two more bodies were recovered in the river on Tuesday night.
Eh Cress Moo would have turned 12 years old on April 22.
Autopsies were still underway to confirm their identities, the police department said, but they are presumed to be the other two missing girls.
“We extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of these girls,” the fire department wrote on Facebook. “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.”
A GoFundMe raising fund for the Moo family to cover funeral expenses asked for prayers and support as they handle the “devastating loss.”
“This is a nightmare for our family as we have to go through this tragedy,” the campaign wrote. “We’re grateful for everyone who has been there for us in this difficult time.”
