Families of girls missing near Pembroke notified as body pulled from Ottawa River
Anyone know who the other girl is? Is there a thread about her?
The other young lady fell into the river last week while attempting to retrieve her cell phone. She is the 17 year old daughter of a fellow soldier but I haven't seen her name published publicly as of yet.
The river and Petawawa, Pembroke, Arnprior have and are experiencing terrible, record-level flooding as of late. We had a young man die in floodwaters here in Arnprior 2 weeks ago as well; he has been recovered.
I'm curious as to whether this will be Trinity or the young lady who was retrieving her phone. In any case, my thoughts and condolences are with the family and friends in this tragic time.
Trinity was last seen passing by the Legion and earlier in the thread I explained that the Legion is a place that one must pass by on their way into town and that immediately after passing the Legion, one would cross the bridge and then immediately be in the business area of the main street. I posted a map as well.
If Trinity made her way down to the river, after the Legion, but on either side of the bridge, this may explain why no business on the south end of the bridge had footage of her.
Going by the article, it states that the remains were submerged "for quite some time". That would make me lean towards this possibly being Trinity, but given the massive flooding and water flow that's a good month in now, I'd also think that someone missing as long as Trinity has been would have been washed down river towards Pembroke, Arnprior by now.
That bridge in the map I posted had to be shut down due to risk of collapse as the suspensions and support ground was washed out during the severe flooding and the currents. In this linked article, the third photo down shows a shot of the bridge. You can see the entrance to the Legion on the right side of the photo just after the guard-rail ends with it's yellow sign. The officers at the bottom of the photo are at the south end of the bridge and just before the business district at that end starts up.

One of these young ladies is on her way home. We still have one more to bring home.
