Search Results in Find of Third
Body
Search teams recovered on
Tuesday the body of a third
Kansas teenager who died along
with two others in a weekend
swimming accident off Costa
Rica's Pacific Coast.
The body of Jessica Pierce, 17,
was found by the crew of a
shrimp boat, who alerted
authorities.
"We located the body at a point
14 nautical miles from
Esterillos," on the same stretch
of coast, "and we are continuing
the search for other man," said
Crus Roja (Red Cross) shift
supervisor Alexander Porras.
Esterillos is northwest of Palo
Seco, Parrita, when four
touritsts were swept out to sea
on Saturday by strong currents.
Still missing is Brett Carlson,
26, a Spanish teacher at the
high school in Altamont, Kan.,
where all the victims went to
school.
The search includes an airplane,
a helicopter, three boats and
shore patrols, Porras said.
The body of Danielle Tongier,
18, was found Saturday. The body
of Andrew Harpstrite, a
17-year-old junior at Labette,
was recovered Sunday.
