COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The search is over for a missing woman who was swept away in flood waters yesterday in Crawford County.

According to a Crawford County Sheriff's Office press release, Faith Gregory was found dead 1.8 miles downstream from her residence around 11:30 Saturday morning.

Assisting the sheriff's office in the search were the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Steelville Fire Protection District, and Quad County Fire Protection District. The Crawford County Coroner later arrived to recover the victim.

"This is not the outcome that any of us were hoping for. Our thoughts and prayers are with Faith’s family, friends, and all those affected by this tragic loss," the office said in a press release.

The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office also took the time to thank the emergency personnel who spent countless hours on the hazardous search operation, as well as the community members who provided them with refreshments.

The sheriff's office said that out of respect for the family's privacy, no additional information about the search will be released at this time.

Boone County's Missouri Task Force One has been supporting statewide flood response operations in Reynolds and Iron counties, where flash flooding overwhelmed roadways, campgrounds and waterways following historic rainfall.

Yesterday, the task force deployed to assist in Renyold's and Iron counties. The deployment included swift water rescue capabilities as well as six search canines, consisting of three live-find K9s and three human remains detection (HRD) K9s.

In a press release, the Boone County Fire Protection District said that BCFPD's Helicopter Search and Rescue Team (HSART) teamed up with the Missouri Air National Guard to provide aerial rescue support, helping to evacuate over 200 campers and staff members from Camp Taum Sauk.

The district's Disaster Situational Assessment and Reconnaissance (DSAR) deployed alongside MO-TF1 to provide incident commanders with real-time aerial reconnaissance, disaster mapping, and live video using drone and GIS technology.
