Today, January 28, 2012, at approximately 4:00 p.m. the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue (SAR) team recovered the body of Vinesa Snegur from the Clackamas River, in the Mount Hood National Forest, east of Estacada.

At 1:50 p.m. this afternoon a citizen flagged down a Clackamas County Deputy Sheriff in Estacada to report they had found what they believed to be the body of missing Vinesa Snegur.

Clackamas County Sheriff’s SAR responded to that location of the Clackamas River approximately four miles downstream from where Vinesa fell into the river last Sunday.

Clackamas County Sheriff’s Dive Rescue team recovered Vinesa’s body from the rocks of a shallow island in the middle of the Clackamas River.

It is believed Vinesa’s body had been previously trapped underwater, further upstream, and was recently dislodged by the high water levels.

The Oregon State Medical Examiner’s office took custody of Vinesa’s body.
