Witnesses said the victim was in the river with two other girls at Davis Camp near the Laughlin casino district. The three were swimming and pushing a raft back toward the beach when the two girls noticed the other was missing.

The victim was found Sunday evening, an estimated 21/2 miles south of the Davis Camp Beach.
