The bodies of three girls who went missing in the Missouri River have been recovered, Nebraska officials said Wednesday.

The three girls, identified by CBS affiliate KMTV as Lah Tray Moo, Lainana Green and Eh Cress Moo, went missing two weeks ago. Eh Cress Moo was Lah Tray Moo’s niece, KMTV reported.

The girls were reported missing on April 15, while fishing in the river, KMTV said.

The Omaha Fire Department said its special operations team had worked alongside local and state agencies, as well as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to find and identify the girls. Boats, drones, sonar equipment and helicopters were used to search the area, KMTV reported. The search turned into a recovery mission on April 16, KMTV said.

The body of Lah Tray Moo was found over the weekend, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, which includes Omaha, said on social media. A fisherman spotted the remains, KMTV reported, and kept them from floating away until police arrived.
