GRETNA, Neb. (AP) - Sheriff’s deputies and rescue crews were to resume their search Friday for an 8-year-old Omaha girl who disappeared while playing in the Platte River at Schramm State Park just southwest of Omaha.
Calls to 911 on Thursday afternoon said several children in the water needed to be rescued. The Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office said bystanders pulled several children to safety, but when deputies and Gretna rescue crews arrived at the scene, they determined one child - 8-year-old Tarie Price - was missing.
A search-and rescue effort was launched along the river, but the search was called off Friday night when darkness hampered efforts. The search was to resume Friday morning.
