After another full day of searching for Lexi Wiezorek and Noah Ramos, family members will wait another day before the search for their loved ones resumes.
Wiezorek and Ramos were driving on South River Road on Monday night when their vehicle left the washed-out roadway and plunged into the South Platte River. They have not been seen since.
On Wednesday, volunteers, law enforcement, family members and the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission scoured the river and its banks but again found no reported signs of the teens.
The Game and Parks Commission launched their sonar boat and reportedly located a “suspicious object” in the water. However, due to decreasing daylight, rescuers were forced to delay their mission until Thursday. Authorities say they were not able to identify what the object was, and the Post was not able to confirm the location of the object.
Members of the Lincoln County Dive Rescue Team plan to resume search activities on Thursday morning.
The North Platte Jaycees have been collecting supplies to support all involved in the search for Lexi and Noah and say food, water and paper supplies are their greatest needs at this point.
The Jaycees Hall is located at 10th and Willow Streets.
