Brother and sister are found dead after falling into the Mississippi River, a girl is also wanted

Rescuers have recovered the body of a 14-year-old girl who fell into the Mississippi River last month, but her 8-year-old sister is still missing, the AP reported Friday.

Their father has asked the teams to continue looking for the other girl.

"Please come with the good intention and help me bring home the other child as well."

Family members have said they believe the 14-year-old fell into the river on April 23 and that 15-year-old Kevin Poole and his sister tried to rescue her.

Poole's body was found Monday in a park outside the river.

A search on Saturday for the little girl is expected to bring together hundreds of people from different countries.
