Diver finds car filled with sand - North Platte Bulletin
-->During the next two and a half hours, several searchers also probed that part of the river with long poles, often working from a diving cage at the end of the crane's boom as well as from boats in the water, but it wasn't until 5:45 p. m. that... Sheriff Jerome Kramer said the crew was able to put the diver's cage on top of the vehicle, which is beneath 8 feet of water, and is nearly totally buried in sand. That means there will be no way to get the car out until the flood water recedes, Kramer said. The diver brought up a piece of the car's vinyl top, which he tore off to confirm it was the car they were looking for -- a Chrysler Sebring that was allegedly carrying Alexis Wiezorek, 17, and passenger Noah Ramos, 18, when the car plunged into... Another car -- a Chevy Cobalt -- is thought to be about 80-100 yards downstream of the Sebring, judging from sonar images, Kramer said. The Colbalt carried three young men who told investigators that they drove out on the road to look for Wiezorek and Ramos, but ended up driving into the river too. The first report from the sheriff's office indicated that Wiezorek and Ramos were in the Cobalt, but Kramer said investigators now believe the two were in the Sebring.
