Anyone tracking this incident this morning ? KBTX reported it but has no details. I am listening to the scanner seems like they are inserted into the Alum/Lick creek to the southeast of Lick Creek Park. Sounds like they have a boat inserted, K9 units, water level is decreasing. They are down by Rock Prairie and Sulphur Springs Rd. Hearing now the CSPD is taking female "witness" further down to location where they are performing search and rescue.

How much rain did we get last night ?

From the scanner sounds like the dogs have hit on a specific area and they are now staging rescue personal to do a search by wading the area.

Still no update? Concerned for the female and for our customers with K9 Search and Rescue. Hoping no news is good news.

Sucks. How large did the creek get? Was she trying to swim in a flooded creek, fall in? Child? Adult?

From KBTX app:

The day started when 32-year-old April Turner was walking her dog near a creek in Lick Creek Park with another person she met along the way.

"The female indicated that she thought that her dog was in trouble. She entered the waterway in an attempt to rescue her dog. She was able to move her dog to the bank," said Lt. Chuck Fleeger with the College Station Police Department.

But the relief of saving her dog was short-lived.

"She began to become overcome by the force and the level of the water in the swollen creek," Lt. Fleeger said.

The woman Turner was with tried to rescue her.

"She wasn't able to do so due to the high current of the risen waterway. The female was then swept downstream," Lt. Fleeger said.

Search and recovery takes a lot of help from different agencies.

All this planning is necessary to make sure the situation doesn't get worse.

"if they are to become overcome by moving water or things of that nature, then resources have to be diverted from the original search to rescue the rescuers."

Not all of the rescuers had two legs.

A K-9 search and rescue team was also used during the rescue operation.

Unfortunately, the outcome isn't what they hoped for.

UPDATE:

After almost 9 hours College Station and Bryan rescuers find the body of a missing woman swept away at Lick Creek Park in College Station.

According to College Station Police, she is identified as 32-year-old April Turner.

CSPD says she was found around 6:00 Saturday evening about a quarter of a mile away from where police say first entered the water.

During the search efforts, responders utilized swift water rescue teams from College Station and Bryan Fire Department, ATVs and boats from College Station Fire Department, boats from Texas Parks and Wildlife, and ground search teams and K-9 search teams from the Search Dog Network.
