Jomarie Calasanz, a 26-year-old from Los Angeles, went missing after trying to rescue her sister from the Kaweah River in Sequoia National Park during a family trip. Despite being a trained swimmer, she was swept away by the river's strong currents. Efforts to retrieve her lasted nine days but were hampered by hazardous conditions caused by snowmelt. The family expressed their grief, noting that while her sister was released by the river, Jomarie has not been found. Authorities plan to reevaluate search efforts as conditions improve.
A trained swimmer, Calasanz entered the river to rescue her sister, Joanne, who was attempting to swim in 'deceivingly calm waters.'
