Body of missing boater found in Missouri River

(Harrison County, IA) -- The body of an Omaha woman who went missing on the Missouri River over the Memorial Day weekend is found.

Harrison County Emergency Management says that the body of 20 year old Emma Olsen was found by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources around 8:30 Thursday morning. Olsen went missing Sunday night when the boat she was on sank on the Missouri River near the Tyson Bend Wildlife Area in Harrison County, Iowa, north of Blair, Nebraska.

Authorities say Olsen's body was found south of where the 35-foot long boat sank. Crews pulled the boat out of the water after sonar detected it during a search on Tuesday. Investigators say multiple people were on board the boat when it sank and were rescued, except for Olsen. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the incident. The investigation is ongoing.
