Three Missing College Softball Players From Dickinson State University, ND, Found Dead in Stock Pond

Another tragedy has occurred at another university. This time, three softball players from Dickinson State University in North Dakota, have been found dead in a Jeep Grand Cherokee submerged in a stock pond northwest of Dickinson. The bodies of Krysten Gemar, 22, Ashley Neufeld, 21, and Afton Williamson, 20, were recovered from the vehicle.

Police said the three women were reported missing late Sunday night after calling a friend for help at 11:17 and 11:18 p.m. During the scratchy call, the women mentioned a lake. Air searches were conducted yesterday and today by the North Dakota Highway Patrol, the Civil Air Patrol and the North Dakota National Guard.

Dickinson Police Lt. Rod Banyai said in at a press conference that it was too early to consider the incident an accident, though foul play was not suspected. Banyai said autopsies will be conducted. He said it is unknown who was driving the vehicle when it went in the water. It is believed the girls were on a star gazing trip. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of these young ladies.
