After another full day of searching on Thursday, there are still no answers in the search for Lexi Wiezorek and Noah Ramos.

The search resumed on Thursday morning with renewed hope, after, late Tuesday afternoon, a Nebraska Game and Parks Commission boat armed with sonar equipment located a “suspicious object” in the river near where the car driven by Wiezorek entered the water.  However, when divers began a search of the area where the object was located, they were unable to find it.

Authorities say a private citizen arrived with a boat equipped with sonar equipment on Thursday and was able to locate an object that resembled a vehicle near the same area.  But the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office says they were not able to confirm if the object was indeed a vehicle without putting divers in the water, and the treacherous conditions of the South Platte River make that a risk too great to take.

At this point, officials say that they will have to wait until the waters in the river recede before they can inspect the object further, and that may take some time.  Meanwhile, rescuers will continue to weigh their options, and friends and family members will continue to wait for answers.

Lexi and Noah have been missing since Monday night when their vehicle drove off of a washed-out road and entered the water.
