Tray Moo was found near NP Dodge Park on Saturday, April 26, and after Green and Cress Moo’s bodies were recovered on Tuesday, April 29, the search was called off, Omaha’s KMTV reported.

Green's aunt, Nichelle Griffy, told KMTV the family was “feeling relieved that we have all three girls physically now.” She added: “We’re sad, but we’re thankful that we have them now. We are a community that is strengthening. The gain is more so the support we have for each other."

Community advocate Chrome Louis thanked those who offered support. He told KMTV: “Together we couldn't have did it, without all the prayers, without all the help nationwide, without all the tuning into the lives, without everybody showing up and community support."

Louis believes the deaths and future incidents could be preventable with the help of “more signs,” such as “do not swim” or “danger in the water.” He said: "Through this process, I learned a lot about the river that I didn't even know,” he said. “The average person don't know how really seriously dangerous this river really is."
