COOLER WEATHER WITH SOME RAIN IS FORECAST FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
LAST NIGHT, TWO GIRLS WERE REPORTED MISSING
ON THE MAQUOKETA RIVER AFTER TUBING ON THE
RIVER. THEY GOT SEPARATED FROM THEIR GROUP AND NEITHER HAD A CELL PHONE WITH THEM. AT 9:30 LAST NIGHT, SANDRA WALKER
CALLED 9-1-1 TO REPORT THAT THE GIRLS
(BAILEY WALKER AND A FRIEND, LEXI) WERE MISSING AND THE
SEARCH BEGAN, WITH A COUPLE PROBLEMS.
IT WAS GETTING VERY DARK AND THE RIVER
TOO SHALLOW FOR ANYTHING BUT CANOES
AND KAYAKS. THE SEARCH CONTINUED UNTIL
JUST AFTER 11 WHEN DEPUTY SHERIFF CHAD ROEDER FOUND THE GIRLS NEAR THE MILLER TOWN BRIDGE, SAFE AND SOUND. AN ALL CLEAR WAS GIVEN ON THE INCIDENT AT 11:36 P.M.
