A tragic event unfolded at Niagara Falls on Wednesday afternoon as a woman entered the powerful river, adding to the already heart-wrenching search for bodies. It has only been a little over a week since a mother and her two young children tragically fell to their deaths in the same location.
The incident was reported to the authorities around 2pm, when they received a call about a woman in the water near the Horseshoe Falls area of Niagara Falls State Park. Immediately, the New York State Park Police sprang into action and began searching the area using a drone, foot searches, and visual scans from overlooks. Despite their efforts, the woman was not found and they called for assistance from the New York State Police Aviation to assist in searching the lower Niagara River.
Unfortunately, it is believed that the woman entered the river intentionally, much like the mother and her two children who are still yet to be found. As the search for the missing woman continues, the number of bodies missing in the river has now risen to four. In honor of the mother and her children, a candlelight vigil was held by the community on Friday.
The Horseshoe Falls area, where this tragedy occurred, is situated below Goat Island. It was on the night of October 27 when park police and the Bureau of Criminal Investigation responded to a call about the mother and her children. It was later revealed that they had gone over a safety guardrail and fell into the waterfall. The New York State Police stated that their investigation has determined that this was an intentional act, though the details are still being looked into.
It has been reported that the mother, Chaianti Means, had been struggling with the breakup of her relationship with her daughter's father. In her recent Facebook posts, she expressed her pain and sadness over the situation. She even admitted that she regretted her previous words about her ex-partner and just wanted her family back. As for the identity of the newly missing woman, it has not been disclosed at this time.
Adding to the tragedy, the day after the woman entered the river, a tour bus on its way to Niagara Falls rolled over in the town of Chili. 28 people were injured and rushed to nearby hospitals, one of them in critical condition. It seems as though Niagara Falls has been plagued with unfortunate events, leaving the community in shock and mourning for those who have been lost.
