Sioux City authorities confirm the three bodies recovered from a submerged car are those of a missing Sioux City family. Officials say 53-year-old Salomon Medina-Zavala, his 43-year-old wife Angelica Gonzalez and their 17-year-old daughter Vanessa Medina-Gonzales were found in the car pulled from the Missouri River. Lieutenant Pat McCann is with the Sioux City Police Department.
On Monday of last week, the family was seen at a Walmart about an hour before witnesses saw their 2001 Honda Civic plunge into the river.
Authorities have not determined who was driving the car when it went into the river and McCann says there are no indications any of the victims suffered any OTHER injuries.
The car was about 20 feet deep in the river when a diver attached a cable to the vehicle Saturday. A tow truck then tugged the car onto the shore.
