...but unfortunately, they were not found alive. The Stark County authorities pulled the vehicle from a stock pond NW of Dickinson at around 4:45pm tonight. It had been completely submerged with the three girls inside. At the recent news conference, it was stated that the police still do not believe any foul play was involved. However, a proper investigation will be conducted, including autopsy's. It must be stated that, despite the horrible treatment local law enforcement got in the comments section of the online daily paper, they did a fine job in this instance and thanks must be given to them and their efforts in finding the three girls.
This is a terrible outcome to a very frightening situation. My heart goes out to the families, friends and teammates of the three girls. I'm truly sorry for your loss. I can't imagine.
There is an update on the Dickinson Press website and locals have been commenting in hoards.
ESPN has picked up the story too.
