Woman drives into Ohio River

HENDERSON, Ky. -- Police found the bodies of two women Sunday inside a sport utility vehicle that had plunged into the Ohio River, and were searching for four men a survivor said also were in the SUV.

A woman who managed to swim to shore told police she was riding in the vehicle when Korena Alvira, one of the two bodies found in the SUV, drove down a boat ramp into the water around 2:30 a.m.

Jamie Rakestrew, 26, said she and her friends met the men at a bar and were giving them a ride, but she did not know their names, officials said.

All the women were from Evansville, Ind., across the river from Henderson.

Rakestrew told investigators she remembers they were confused about what direction they were going from the bar, which is about two blocks from the river.

The bodies of Korena Alvira and Diamond Raimey, both 32, were found in the SUV about 75 feet from shore, officials said. Alvira was believed to be the driver.

Autopsies and toxicology tests were scheduled for Monday.

Rainstorms suspended the search for the men Sunday afternoon.
