PRESS RELEASE #8 – Recovery Efforts Suspended on Wisconsin River for Tonight

April 9, 2015 By Chief Deputy Leave a Comment

Richland Center, WI:  The recovery operation to locate 5-year-old Angela Girton who fell into the Wisconsin River Monday night has been suspended until morning due to the impending weather.  Her body has not been found at this time.  Local officials and Bruce’s Legacy crew members are currently analyzing sonar images that were collected earlier today.  Officials are requesting that no boats enter the area near the designated search site in an effort to preserve the location.

Bruce’s Legacy, the Lone Rock Fire Department, Richland County Sheriff’s Department, Richland County Emergency Management, and DNR Wardens will resume recovery operations tomorrow.  The search team appreciates the outpouring of support.  Additional support can be offered directly to the family or Bruce’s Legacy.  Additional information will be released as soon as it is made available.
