Search Turns to Recovery Effort in South Jersey for Woman Who Helped Save Child in Delaware River
Crews are using boats and drones as they search for a woman who vanished after helping a 9-year-old child reach shore, officials said.
- On Tuesday, search crews continued a recovery operation in the Delaware River near Delran, New Jersey, after a woman went missing Monday while rescuing a 9-year-old girl from the water.
- Officials said the woman managed to push the child toward the shore to safety, but she did not resurface after attempting the rescue where the Delaware River meets the Rancocas Creek.
- Her husband told WPVI-TV that Tuesday is her 34th birthday and described his wife as an evangelical and a "heroine who gave her own life to save a child."
- Specialized teams from the Camden County Water Search and Rescue and the Camden County Mobile Drone Unit are assisting local responders with drones and watercraft to search the shoreline.
- The area near Amico Island Park is not designated for swimming and is known for strong undercurrents. Similar tragedies have occurred previously along the Philadelphia and South Jersey sections of the river.
