CCSO: CLACKAMAS COUNTY SHERIFF'S SEARCH AND RESCUE WILL RESUME THE SEARCH FOR VINESA SNEGUR ON SUNDAY ON THE CLACKAMAS RIVER, EAST OF ESTACADA
Posted: January 28th, 2012 11:58 AM
The Clackamas County Sheriff's Search and Rescue (SAR) team will resume searching for Vinesa Snegur on Sunday, January 29, 2012.
Vinesa Snegur went missing last week Sunday, January 22nd, 2012 when she fell into the Clackamas River approximately 30 miles east of Estacada, Oregon. She had been playing in the snow with her family when she fell into the frigid water and was swept downstream.
A three day search effort coordinated by Clackamas County Sheriff's SAR was suspended on Tuesday, January 24th, 2012 when river conditions reached dangerous levels. The conditions were too dangerous to send searchers into the water.
Now, after monitoring the water conditions for the week, it is forecast the water depth and flow will decrease to a safe level by Sunday morning.
Clackamas County Sheriff's SAR will coordinate certified divers and water rescue teams to resume the search tomorrow morning.
The SAR command post and media staging area will return to Ripplebrook Ranger Station.
A PIO will be at the command post at 10:30 a.m. for updates.
