Search ends for local woman missing in Hawaii

The search has ended for a nurse from the suburbs who went missing in Hawaii.

Crews completed their final search for Kelly Mrowinski on Monday.

Mrowinski is from Schaumburg, Ill.
She was hiking above a waterfall with a man on Jan. 26 when they were swept into a river by a flash flood.

The man made it to shore but Mrowinski was not seen again.

[emoji174]Hearbreaking.[emoji174]I mentioned her age being beyond 20 since photo's show alcohol.
ETA and the education years required to be a nurse.

This looks to be a local newscast that shows the area and gives a little more detail: https://youtu.be/irILsKcZiQ4

Beautiful area. Incoming storm it seems and the power of moving water. Sad.

My daughter's extended family is Native Hawaiian. The week this young woman disappeared there were some serious flash flood warnings due to an unusual amount of rain across the entire state. Where they were hiking would have been dangerous under those conditions, I'm afraid. http://khon2.com/2018/02/04/flash-f...-kauai-flash-flood-watch-for-smaller-islands/

A woman's body has been pulled from the water. Not confirmed as Kelly yet but no other MPs in the area.

Thanks Whiskers. Gosh it feels like that took a while. Hoping for closure for her poor family.

Hawaiian authorities are trying to identify whether a body found floating in the Wailuku River in Hilo is that of a missing Schaumburg woman.

An autopsy was conducted Tuesday on the body found Saturday, and results should be available by the weekend, said Alan Richmond, public information officer for the Hawaii Police Department.

The remains were severely decomposed, making identification or determining a cause of death difficult.

The body of a Schaumburg woman who went missing while hiking on the island of Hawaii in late January was positively identified Thursday.

Kelly Mrowinski, 28, died as a result of an accidental "fresh water drowning," according to an autopsy performed by the local medical examiner's office, authorities said.

So sad. RIP Kelly 🥀

Firstly, RIP Kelly.

We went to Maui over Christmas. The weather was rainy, causing wrecks on the roads, flash floods and other hazards. I can see where someone might easily encounter issues if hiking and caught unexpectedly by a flash flood.
